Experienced Engine Controls Systems Engineer to join the European Controls & Software team, responsible for engine controls and software development for small and medium diesel, hybrid and electric powertrain programmes. You will be involved in the design and development of controls and software for advanced diesel engine controls and/or hybrid systems controls.


The role of Engine Controls Systems Engineer offers the opportunity to work on a number of fast-moving programmes, applying cutting-edge technology to improve the sustainability of engine and hybrid power systems deployed in industrial/off-highway applications.


Engine Controls Systems Engineer Role:

  1. Work with process partner teams (primarily Industrial Power Systems Division) to gather and develop requirements for the advanced diesel engines and hybrid power systems being developed for future, more sustainable, low carbon power systems.
  2. Create control algorithms/software models using Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow to meet diesel engine and/or hybrid power system software requirements.
  3. Conduct control system tuning/calibration activities on test bench and/or on test bed/machine to achieve desired system performance.
  4. Conduct sub-system FMEAs, documenting potential failure modes, identifying and completing design and validation actions and managing subsequent updates.
  5. Plan and execute verification and validation testing for electronics/control system software in SiL, HiL or on-test bed or development machines.
  6. Troubleshoot and resolve electronics/control system issues encountered during engine or power system running.


Engine Controls Systems Engineer Requirements:Essential:

  1. Strong technical background (good technical degree preferred in mechanical, electronic, electrical, control systems or automotive engineering) though other qualifications/experience will be considered.
  2. Significant, demonstrable experience of using MathWorks tools (Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow) for model-based software design and development to create embedded software. This should have been gained in a diesel engine or hybrid power systems development environment.
  3. Ability to translate and develop customer requirements and objectives into production-ready software models.
  4. Knowledge of software FMEA and validation plan creation.
  5. Excellent communications skills.
  6. Strong customer focus.

Desirable:

  1. Good understanding of the off-highway industry, ideally gained through direct involvement in the development of powertrain, hydraulics or other control systems.
  2. Experience of control software processes and tools.
  3. Experience of HiL test equipment and the ability to programme automated tests.
  4. Knowledge of software version control systems, ideally GiT or Clearcase.
  5. Knowledge of/prior experience of developing software to meet functional safety requirements.


Applications are welcomed from Candidates who possess the relevant skills and experience as detailed in the job description. Recent Graduates who do not have the required level of skills and experience need not apply.


Candidates must be eligible to work in the UK before making an application and it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide evidence of such eligibility.

Machine Learning Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Machine learning is fuelling innovation across every industry, from healthcare to retail to financial services. As organisations look to harness large datasets and predictive algorithms to gain competitive advantages, the demand for skilled ML professionals continues to soar. Whether you’re aiming for a machine learning engineer role or a research scientist position, strong interview performance can open doors to dynamic projects and fulfilling careers. However, machine learning interviews differ from standard software engineering ones. Beyond coding proficiency, you’ll be tested on algorithms, mathematics, data manipulation, and applied problem-solving skills. Employers also expect you to discuss how to deploy models in production and maintain them effectively—touching on MLOps or advanced system design for scaling model inferences. In this guide, we’ve compiled 30 real coding & system‑design questions you might face in a machine learning job interview. From linear regression to distributed training strategies, these questions aim to test your depth of knowledge and practical know‑how. And if you’re ready to find your next ML opportunity in the UK, head to www.machinelearningjobs.co.uk—a prime location for the latest machine learning vacancies. Let’s dive in and gear up for success in your forthcoming interviews.

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence. Let’s dive in.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.
