We're seeking an adaptable, proactive Senior Data Engineer to build and scale data capabilities within a greenfield environment across critical Defence and Aerospace programmes.

⚠️ Essential Requirement: You must have hands-on experience working with aerospace engineering or operational data-such as aircraft platform data, sensor outputs, test datasets, or other high-volume technical data sources.

This is a key role where you'll help shape secure, scalable data platforms from the ground up, so a can-do attitude, adaptability, and a passion for innovation are vital.

What You'll Be Doing

Design, build, and maintain end-to-end data solutions (ingestion, integration, storage, processing, analysis)

Develop data pipelines, automation, and analytical tools to drive insight

Work with complex aerospace datasets in secure, mission-critical environments

Research and implement emerging data technologies

Collaborate with Data Scientists, DevOps, Analysts, and Cyber teams

Support machine learning workflows and deployment

Work across cloud platforms and secure environments

Lead small work packages and mentor junior engineers

Contribute to architecture and design decisions

What You'll Bring

Proven experience as a Data Engineer, with ownership of deliverables

Essential: Experience working with aerospace engineering or sensor data

Strong Python and SQL skills, including pipeline optimisation

Solid understanding of SQL & NoSQL database architectures

Experience with ETL pipelines and orchestration tools

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

Exposure to Docker and APIs

Ability to lead, mentor, and collaborate effectively

Strong problem-solving and stakeholder engagement skills

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.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
