Why we need you:

We’re expanding and growing, and we have a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join the team. We want to deepen and expand the skills we have in the group already and are looking to add to the great culture.

You’ll be joining the Analytical Mechanics and Mechatronics Group, an inclusive and supportive group based in the Healthcare division. The group consists of 8 brilliant mechanical engineers ranging in experience and backgrounds, and is led by Anthony Robinson, a Senior Consultant in Cambridge Consultants.

Anthony says: “I love working with talented individuals and look forward to collaboratively finding ways to develop others in the directions that they are passionate about. I get a great sense of satisfaction being part of and leading a humming team to deliver exceptional technical solutions. Providing exciting opportunities to learn and grow together.”

What you’ll get to do:

The majority of your time will be focused on delivering exceptional mechanical design engineering possible for our multi-national medical technology clients, understanding their requirements and communicating clearly and effectively. You’ll be hands on in solving complex mechanical challenges, often alongside other disciplines, and in supportive project teams. You’d be working on projects across a range of healthcare sectors including Medical Devices, Drug Delivery and Molecular and Cellular Diagnostics. The technical challenges we work on are often ground-breaking and seriously improve the landscape of Medical Technology. We’d love you to be a part of that.

Our work varies greatly for our clients, but it’s likely you’ll be bringing your best to key projects such as first-principle engineering analyses, hands on testing and experimentation, and focused detailed design for manufacture and liaising with suppliers. Your experience in these areas means you’ll be able to design systems and parts for manufacture with real world knowledge. You’ll be guiding aspects of the mechanical development and defining technical solutions.

Our culture encourages team members to develop their responsibility that suits them and you’ll have the opportunity to significantly develop your skills and career, learn from others and make substantial impact on our projects.

What you’ll bring:

You’ll bring strong mechanical engineering ability and enthusiasm to the role. You’ll be delivering high-quality work on our client projects, to specification and to timelines. You’ll be responsible for delivering tasks you’re assigned and defining tasks for yourself and often others. You’ll have industry experience and apply that to the role to make fantastic impact.

You’ll have:

  • An excellent undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related subject, such as Biomedical, Product Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering Mechatronics etc) or equivalent experience
  • Strong design engineering industry experience. For example, but not limited to, highly proficient in CAD, design analysis, structural analysis, rapid prototyping, technical drawings, design for manufacture, design for assembly.
  • Proven track record of working in a diverse team and successful delivery

You may also have, but are not required

  • Experience in a consulting environment
  • Experience in medical device development, or other regulated product development

What we do:

Cambridge Consultants is one of the world’s leading product development and technology consultancies, with a reputation for cutting-edge design, development and value creation for a global client base. We develop breakthrough technology for some of the most exciting companies on the planet. Our people, facilities and work make us unique. Our medical technology division develops some of the most novel products that have a tangible and often life changing benefit for users and patients.

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

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three 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.
