Help Robots Navigate Industrial Sites Safely
(West London - with some travel)

You'll be building the "eyes and brain" that help robots safely navigate busy industrial sites - keeping human workers away from dangerous areas while making operations more efficient.
The role pays £45K-£65K depending on your experience, with potential for equity in a growing British tech company.

Your typical week:

Writing algorithms that help robots understand their surroundings using multiple sensors
Creating and refining 3D maps of industrial environments
Improving our location tracking accuracy - critical for safe robot operation
Collaborating directly with our 15-person engineering team
Testing your solutions on real robots in actual industrial settings

You are ideal if you:

Have a Masters/PhD in Robotics, Computer Vision, or similar
Are skilled in Python and C++ (we use both daily)
Have hands-on experience with SLAM, ROS, or similar robotics frameworks
Want to solve complex technical challenges that directly impact safety
Prefer working in small, focused teams rather than large corporations

The challenging parts:

You'll need to balance accuracy with real-world performance constraints
Some solutions will require multiple iterations to get right

Why their engineers stay:

You'll own major features from concept to deployment
Direct access to our technical founders (both PhDs in Robotics)
We're small enough that your work has immediate impact
Clear path to technical leadership as we grow
Your solutions could become patented technology

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.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.
