Are you ready to take your career to the next level by working on cutting-edge technology in the agricultural sector? This is your opportunity to be part of an innovative company that is revolutionising the way agriculture operates at their UK R&D facility. As a **Machine Learning Engineer - Robotics & Perception**, you will play a pivotal role in developing intelligent systems that are deployed in real-world environments, making a tangible impact on the industry. By helping design, train, and deploy perception systems — from image segmentation and object classification through to stereo camera pipelines and real-time deep neural inference. You will work closely with robotics, embedded, and systems engineers to bring cutting-edge vision intelligence into production agricultural environments

What You Will Do:

- Design and implement machine learning pipelines for image segmentation, object detection, and 3D scene reconstruction.

- Train and optimise deep neural network models using frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

- Manage and curate training datasets, including developing data augmentation and annotation strategies.

- Deploy machine learning models to embedded and edge computing platforms for real-time performance.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate perception modules into broader system architectures.

- Maintain thorough documentation of model architectures, experiment results, and deployment procedures.

What You Will Bring:

- Proven experience in machine learning or computer vision engineering, with a strong understanding of CNN architectures such as YOLO.

- Proficiency in C, C++, Python and familiarity with Linux-based development environments.

- Knowledge of stereo vision pipelines, depth estimation, and geometric computer vision techniques.

- Experience in optimising and deploying models to constrained hardware environments.

- A Phd or degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent industry experience.

By joining this company, you'll contribute to creating intelligent systems that are transforming agricultural practices. The role offers the chance to work on innovative projects alongside a supportive and talented team. This company values quality, continuous learning, and delivering real-world solutions that make a difference.

Location:

This role is based onsite in Newport Shropshire, this position is commutable from Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Cannock and Bridgnorth

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.
