My client, a world leader in the defence sector and supplier of Missiles and Missile Systems, requires a

Senior

Motor Control Systems Engineer

to join their team, leading the design, development and validation of embedded control systems across a range of actuator products.

Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer

The Senior Motor Control Systems Engineer will collaborate within a multi-disciplinary design team, owning the design, development and proving of control algorithms, ensuring that customer performance requirements are met. This role offers the opportunity to influence the complete System architecture including Electronics, Mechanical and Software design disciplines to ensure the needs of the control system design.

You will experience product development across the full product lifecycle, taking a design from initial concept or technology development through qualification activities and into production.

You will:Develop control algorithms for both analogue and digital systems, typically in the control of BLDC motors.Model systems and undertake performance analysis of the selected control algorithm.Derive sub-system requirements (mechanical, electronics, software).Identify suitable electro-mechanical components (electric motors and feedback sensors) working co-operatively with suppliers where needed.Define design proving plans, design proving testing and subsequent data analysis.

To be considered for this role, applicants will have experience in:

Design and development of control algorithms for digital control systems.Use of the MATLAB / Simulink toolset and Embedded Coder for the generation of control algorithms ready for deployment within systems (ideally direct experience in the control of BLDC motors).Modelling complex real world electronic and mechanical systems such as feedback sensors, motors, drivetrains and drive electronics.

In addition, the following would be beneficial:

Ability to generate sub-system or component requirements from a set of customer requirements in support of system architecture development.Knowledge of electric motors and drive / commutation strategies e.g., Field Oriented Control (FOC) or Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) techniques.Understanding of DO-178C or DO-331 standards and the code generation processes specified.

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.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
