Head of AI/ML - Robotics start-up

Are you ready to revolutionise the world of robotics as a Head of AI?

Do you want to join a growing visionary team that's redefining human-machine collaboration?

Step into a leadership role where your expertise in AI/ML will drive the development of humanoid robots that redefine human-machine collaboration.

We are on a mission to transform how humans and machines work together. Imagine a world where millions of humanoid robots take on tasks that are hazardous, monotonous, or simply undesirable, allowing people to focus on what truly matters.

Our vision is a future of abundance, where technology addresses labor shortages and creates new opportunities for well-being.

As Head of AI/ML, you will:

  • Lead the design and development of AI/ML algorithms for perception, decision-making, control, and autonomous driving.
  • Define and execute research roadmaps, establishing data pipelines to support cutting-edge AI/ML workflows.
  • Integrate AI/ML capabilities into our humanoid platform, driving collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  • Represent our technological advancements in industry forums and foster partnerships with academia and research institutions.
  • Inspire and grow a talented AI/ML team, shaping the future of robotics through innovation and strategic leadership.

    What We're Looking For:
  • Proven experience in AI/ML, particularly within robotics, automation, or autonomous systems.
  • Expertise in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, NLP, and world model architectures (SLAM, CNN/DNN)
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to build and nurture high-performing teams.
  • A strategic thinker with excellent communication skills, ready to drive impactful AI/ML initiatives.

    What's in It for You:
  • Competitive salary + stock options.
  • Flexible working hours and a dynamic start-up environment.
  • Be part of a groundbreaking team shaping the future of robotics.

    Offices in London, with relocation opportunities across Europe.
    Sponsorship can be provided.

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.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
