Job description


About Us:QDSL (Quintessential Design Services Limited) is an engineering and technology consultancy based in the UK, supporting client projects in field of Engineering Innovations, Research & Development and IT. We offer engineering support in Automotive, Aerospace, Energy and IT.


The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of automotive emissions, simulation tools, and regulatory compliance requirements. The role involves developing and applying simulation models to analyse, predict, and optimize gasoline engine emissions, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and improving engine performance.


Position: Gasoline Aftertreatment Emissions Engineer - (Mechanical Engineer)

Job Type: Permanent / Contract

Location: Warwickshire


Key Responsibilities

  • Support the design & development of Propulsion System using CAE processes
  • Work with design teams to develop and optimise solutions considering multi-attributes within defined deadlines and time constraints.
  • Support the continual development of tools and techniques which enhance capability, improve quality and robustness of Virtual models.
  • Conduct the design analysis and development with utmost quality within agile framework


Simulation and Modelling:

  • Develop and validate advanced simulation models for gasoline engine emissions using software tools such as AVL Cruise, GT-Suite, or MATLAB/Simulink
  • Conduct computational simulations to predict exhaust gas composition, emission levels, and system performance.
  • Collaborate with system teams to integrate emissions modelling into vehicle development cycles


Analyse and Optimization:

  • Perform detailed analyses of emission results to identify areas for improvement.
  • Optimize combustion, aftertreatment systems, and control strategies to reduce pollutant emissions (e.g., CO₂, NOₓ, HC, and particulate matter).
  • Support hardware development and calibration activities with simulation-based insights.
  • Support regulatory reporting and certification processes by providing accurate simulation data


Cross-functional Collaboration:

  • Work closely with engineering, and product development teams to align simulation outputs with project goals.
  • Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders, including technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Support activities involving enhancement in existing simulation methodologies and development of innovative approaches to improve efficiency and accuracy


Skills Knowledge and Experience Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in emissions simulation, engine design, or a related role.
  • Proficiency in using emission simulation software (e.g., GT-Suite, AVL Boost, MATLAB/Simulink).
  • Strong knowledge of combustion and aftertreatment systems for gasoline engines.
  • Expertise in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and chemical kinetics as applied to engine emissions
  • Familiarity with engine testing procedures and data interpretation.


What we offer (For Permanent)

  • Competitive Salary in line with level of experience.
  • UK Work Visa sponsorship for eligible candidates.
  • Opportunity to be part of world class product development projects.
  • Pension Scheme
  • 28 Days Holidays (Annual + Bank Holidays) and above additional benefits.

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.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
