TL;DR This role is for you if you love building world-class SLAM and localisation systems and want a messier, faster, real-world challenge. Expect to:



  • Own the full lifecycle of SLAM and computer vision modules: design, develop, test and optimise.
  • Deploy and iterate directly on customer sites, living and breathing the problems your solutions solve.
  • Collaborate closely with software, hardware, and product teams to push robotics capabilities forward.
  • Tackle complex, multi-disciplinary problems in messy environments, and see your work make real-world impact, now.

About Paddington Robotics

At P9R7, we’re building robots that can handle the messy, unpredictable and chaotic real world! Our mission: become the UK’s go‑to applied AI robotics team - and we’ll do whatever it takes to get there.


What we actually do:



  • Build insane AI models and hardware that let robots work safely alongside humans - lifting, moving, and getting stuff done better and faster.
  • Spend lots of time on Customer sites, to better understand and solve for the messy chaos of most environments.
  • Think 10+ years ahead, reimagining manual labour and creating robots that become complementary assistants for labour intensive and physically demanding tasks.

Robotics Computer Vision Engineer @ Paddington Robotics

We’re hiring an experienced Robotics Computer Vision Engineer to lead our localisation, SLAM, and computer vision modules. You’ll work closely with our software and hardware engineers to build world‑class capabilities that let robots navigate messy environments and complex human‑robot interactions.


Unlike other companies, here you’ll work end‑to‑end, at breakneck speed. You’ll deploy directly to customer sites, live and breathe the problems our robots solve, and own the full lifecycle: spec, implementation, testing, and maintenance.


About You

  • You’ve built world‑class SLAM and localisation for real‑world products, not just in academia, and want a new, messier, faster challenge.
  • You live and breathe the latest developments in SLAM, computer vision and sensor fusion and want to have the freedom to build something even better.
  • You’re highly collaborative, love working with others, and enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring, and embracing feedback.
  • You thrive in a messy startup environment: moving fast, iterating constantly, and building something incredible in a scrappy, hands‑on team.
  • You’re a practical problem solver: you can take your expertise and tackle hairy engineering challenges in messy, real‑world environments.

Above all, we’re building a team of creative, outside‑the‑box thinkers. To thrive here, you are:



  • Highly ambitious: comfortable taking a project from concept to completion - you do whatever it takes to win.
  • Self‑directed and proactive: you thrive in a dynamic, unpredictable, multi‑disciplinary environment.
  • Enthusiastic team player: you ask questions, help others, and communicate effectively.

What Will Impress Us

We love proactive doers. Show us what you’ve built – whether it’s interfaces, projects, or experiments. Tell us why our mission excites you. Be bold, be creative, and don’t feel embarrassed to stand out from the crowd.


Location

Our London office is right by Portobello Road. We work full‑time, and largely on‑site (4 days a week). Expect vibrant startup energy with a team that knows when to laugh, and when to buckle down.

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.
