Ensure Data Quality and Integrity:
  • Work to ensure that IoT data is clean, accurate, and reliable. You’ll develop processes for data validation, cleansing, and anomaly detection, ensuring that insights are based on high-quality data.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Data Analytics Expertise:Strong experience in analyzing large datasets, particularly IoT data from sensors, devices, and networks. You’re skilled in using statistical techniques, machine learning, and data modeling to extract insights from complex data streams.
  • IoT Knowledge:Understanding of IoT architectures, devices, and data protocols. You’re familiar with how IoT systems generate and collect data and the challenges associated with analyzing data from distributed devices.
  • Data Visualization and Reporting:Proficiency in data visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or similar platforms. You can create clear and insightful reports and dashboards that communicate complex data insights in a meaningful way.
  • Programming and Data Analysis:Experience with programming languages such as Python or R, and familiarity with data analysis libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn. You know how to work with databases (SQL, NoSQL) and cloud platforms for data storage and analysis.
  • Collaboration and Communication:Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex data concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You can work closely with engineering, product, and business teams to ensure data-driven decision-making.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field.Equivalent experience in data analysis, particularly with IoT data, is highly valued.
  • Certifications in data analytics, machine learning, or IoT are a plus.

Experience Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in data analysis,with a proven track record of analyzing and interpreting data from IoT devices, sensors, or networks.
  • Experience working with machine learning models and algorithms to predict, classify, or detect anomalies in IoT systems.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and their IoT and analytics services is highly desirable.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.

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.
