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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.

MLOps Jobs in the UK: The Complete Career Guide for Machine Learning Professionals

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
