Job Overview:

We make debug tools that help Arm's partners build outstanding software on their embedded devices which power mobile, games, Android, Linux, Machine Learning, and enterprise applications. Engineers are afforded the opportunity to move between teams as needed to deliver products, so it helps to be a quick learner and willing to adapt to new technical challenges.

We are looking for skilled test engineers with expertise in crafting and implementing reliable automated tests.

Responsibilities:

We are growing our debugger team and seek a hardworking test automation engineer to help provide a wonderful developer experience to our partners!

We are building tools to help developers debug and bring up sophisticated devices that implement the latest Arm architecture features and intellectual property. The successful candidate will work in a new sub-team developing a new debugger UX. The candidate will cultivate automated tests and quality in the team.

Working with a team of engineers, you will be involved in the full software development lifecycle, from working with our Technology Managers to clarify requirements through to design, development and deployment of new features. At every stage, you will help develop automated test suites to ensure the final product is at the high quality our partners expect.

You will also work in conjunction with the existing Quality Engineering team, learning from and guiding your peers.

Required Skills and Experience :

  • Previous work in defining and implementing automated GUI based tests on a Windows, Mac or Linux application, or on a browser based application
  • A strong understanding of a code driven UI testing framework, ideally Playwright
  • Experience in a scripting language such as Typescript or Python
  • Experience of writing CI pipelines, ideally Jenkins
  • Familiarity with the basics of modern, effective software development: source control, automated testing, object-oriented or functional paradigms and the Agile methodology.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

The following is a selection of skills used across our projects. It is not necessary to have any of these to apply or succeed in your application, but they will be an advantage. We will be able to provide opportunities to develop your skills in these areas.

  • Past work in Node.js, Electron, React, VSCode extensions
  • The underlying product is written in Java and C++, so a basic understanding of either of those languages would be helpful
  • Knowledge of how to effectively use the Linux command line
  • Experience with UX design principles and processes
  • Use of embedded debug tools like Arm Development Studio or Keil MDK and associated JTAG or SWD debug probes.

In Return:

As well as receiving a comprehensive reward package, you will be empowered to make a real difference to the quality of Arm's tools! There will be opportunities to grow and develop new skills both technical and non-technical, and to pursue a career at a leading technology company.

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
