About us:Accuris, a company long-known for accelerating innovation in engineering workflows and supporting the vibrancy of the engineering community, launched in May 2023 as a standalone company. Accuris was formerly known as S&P Global’s Engineering Solutions division. The Company is valued for its standards content and workflow solutions like Engineering Workbench, Goldfire, Haystack and Parts Management Solutions.


Under its previous owners, including S&P Global, IHS and IHS Markit, Accuris has been an integral part of the engineering ecosystem for more than 60 years


Over the past 80 years, the Engineering Sciences Data Unit (ESDU) has researched, developed and published a large collection of design and calculation documents (known as Data Items) and software covering a number of engineering disciplines, but mostly within the aerospace sector. The current vacancy lies within the Aircraft Noise, Vibration and Acoustic Fatigue Group, whose work is guided and monitored by technical committees consisting of independent experts from industry, research and academia. Items are issued only after approval by the relevant committee.

The work of ESDU lies somewhere between research and design, with the requirement that the final documents must serve the needs of practicing engineers. Engineers at ESDU get the rare opportunity to investigate a whole range of different design problems in great depth. The work does not include experimental research as a rule, but does require them to seek out all the available literature on a particular subject, understand it and then interpret it for use in the design process. The final product may be data, a method with or without a computer program, or some combination of these. The work is therefore both interesting and rewarding.

Requirements:


Educational Qualification: You must have at least a good honours degree in acoustics, aeronautical engineering, or a closely related discipline. A higher degree is also acceptable.

Relevant Experience: Experience in an industrial or research organisation related to the field is essential.

Technical Skills:

  • Familiarity with the use and interpretation of test data.
  • Experience in applying and developing theoretical, semi-empirical, and empirical techniques.

Software Knowledge: Knowledge of Fortran and/or MATLAB is desirable.

Communication Skills: Proficiency in both spoken and written English is necessary for effectively disseminating technical information.

Collaborative Skills: Ability to work well with individuals and groups, especially those outside the organisation, such as independent committees in the field of vibration and acoustic fatigue.


Responsibilities:


Data Maintenance and Expansion:

  • Take overall responsibility for maintaining and expanding the Data Items and software in the Vibration and Acoustic Fatigue (VAF) Series.

Preparation of Presentation Papers:

  • Prepare papers to be presented to the VAF committee to obtain consensus for publication.

Professional Interaction:

  • Engage with the VAF committee in a professional manner to discuss and present findings or updates.

Guidance on Future Data Items:

  • Collaborate with the committee to receive guidance on future Data Items for inclusion in the VAF Series.



About Company Statement:

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence. Let’s dive in.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.
