Are you a visionary leader with a passion for artificial intelligence and machine learning? We are seeking an experienced Head of Artificial Intelligence to lead AI/ML strategies for a groundbreaking robotics project. You will play a key role in driving the development and deployment of advanced AI algorithms for functions such as perception, decision-making, autonomous control, and navigation. The ideal candidate has expertise in areas like embodied AI, natural language processing, SLAM, computer vision, emotion and object recognition, and world model architectures.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design, development, and optimization of AI/ML algorithms, focusing on perception, decision-making, control, and autonomous navigation.
  • Develop and execute a comprehensive AI/ML strategy and roadmap, keeping the team ahead of industry trends.
  • Build robust data pipelines to support end-to-end AI/ML workflows, including data collection, processing, training, and deployment.
  • Oversee the integration of AI/ML capabilities into the robotics platform, ensuring collaboration across interdisciplinary teams for seamless functionality.
  • Continuously evaluate and optimize AI/ML system performance in real-world applications.
  • Cultivate a culture of innovation and continuous learning within the AI/ML team, keeping abreast of the latest technologies and methodologies.


Required Expertise:

  • Deep understanding of AI/ML technologies, frameworks, and best practices, with a track record of leading successful projects.
  • Experience deploying AI/ML solutions in real-world scenarios, ideally in robotics, automation, or autonomous systems.
  • Strong technical background in computer science, mathematics, or a related field, with expertise in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and world model architectures.
  • Proven leadership abilities to guide teams towards ambitious goals and deliver outstanding results.
  • Excellent communication skills, capable of conveying complex technical concepts to various audiences.
  • Strategic thinking with strong problem-solving skills, able to make data-driven decisions.
  • Commitment to continuous learning and staying updated on advancements in AI/ML.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

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.
