Background

CSGUoL and InfoHealth Ltd are recruiting for a candidate to transform non‑invasive continuous blood pressure monitoring by developing personalised AI models and algorithms incorporating Photoplethysmography (PPG) measurements.


Working at InfoHealth’s offices in Coulsdon, Surrey, with visits to CSGUoL, the candidate will apply their academic and commercial knowledge to this critical project.


InfoHealth has developed a digital product called NowPatient within which patients can book GP appointments, view medical records, and access NHS services conducted via virtual video consultations. The KTP will support InfoHealth to add to the capabilities within NowPatient, enabling InfoHealth to embed AI and Machine Learning methodologies, optimising current and new products/services.


Responsibilities

The candidate will work with advanced PPG signal processing and PPG Pulse wave Analysis (PWA) and modelling frameworks using ML/AI and develop clinical standards and ethics procedures for validation criteria.


Specifically, the candidate will investigate current development platforms for wearables using optical sensing, collect and curate data, incorporate adaptive AI models, and develop a deep learning architecture.


Person Specification

We are looking for a candidate with an MSc or other Higher Degree in Electrical/Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science or relevant field, with a focus on time series data analysis, algorithm design and implementation. Knowledge of programming (Python) and AI platforms is essential, as is experience of planning and conducting complex experimental research projects.


The ideal candidate will have knowledge of PPG, real‑time processing of PPG data, and medical validation standards, as well as experience of developing predictive algorithms for wearables and experience with publicly available databases or medical datasets to validate and compare models.

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.
