Employment Type: Contract

Salary: £33.88/hour (umbrella rate)

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated ADAS Engineer to join our team. This is a specialist-level position ideal for someone with deep technical expertise and a passion for shaping the future of self-driving technology.

About the Role

You will be responsible for the design, development, and testing of autonomous or self-driving vehicles, working on advanced systems that enhance vehicle perception, prediction, tracking, and motion planning capabilities. You’ll play a key role in building and refining machine learning features, as well as developing control and diagnostic strategies for automated driving.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement machine learning features for autonomous driving systems.
Develop and refine vehicle perception, prediction, tracking, and motion planning algorithms.
Build and maintain control and diagnostic strategies related to self-driving functionality.
Create Simulink models and develop functional requirements documentation and test cases.
Lead and manage large projects or technical processes with minimal oversight.
Provide coaching and mentorship to junior engineers and team members.
Solve complex engineering problems and deliver innovative solutions in a fast-paced environment.
About You

Recognized subject matter expert in autonomous vehicle systems or a closely related field.
Typically gained through advanced education and significant industry experience.
Proven track record in managing complex technical projects.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor and guide others.
Proficient in systems engineering, algorithm development, and simulation/model-based design.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
