James Bray

Background

I am a Systems Engineer and Aerospace MEng graduate specialising in the integration of physical hardware and complex software. I have a range of past projects and upcoming contracts, giving me a wide field of applicable knowledge, making me highly adaptable to new challenges. I work well in cross-disciplinary teams, moving between high-level system design and detailed technical work to deliver high quality results.

What I Do

I design, prototype, and deploy end-to-end systems. My proficiencies allow me to operate across the entire engineering workflow:

• Cross-Disciplinary R&D - building and integrating complex software with physical systems
• Full-Stack Software & Simulation - working from firmware to UI, building cohesive architectures
• Embedded Systems & Controls - designing real-time control loops and robust firmware
• System Optimisation - breaking apart systems to locate and eliminate bottlenecks and improve performance
• AI automation tools - developing advanced agentic systems to produce excellent products and workflows

What’s Next?

I'm currently looking to take on short-term, high-impact R&D contracts. I want to work on a variety of projects in my early career, building up a wide skillset and network across the industry before I advance into long term goals.

Eventually, when the time is right, I'd like my own company focused on future-facing, meaningful projects. Until then, I am helping engineering teams solve their hardest problems, one system at a time.
