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.

Machine Learning Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Machine learning is fuelling innovation across every industry, from healthcare to retail to financial services. As organisations look to harness large datasets and predictive algorithms to gain competitive advantages, the demand for skilled ML professionals continues to soar. Whether you’re aiming for a machine learning engineer role or a research scientist position, strong interview performance can open doors to dynamic projects and fulfilling careers. However, machine learning interviews differ from standard software engineering ones. Beyond coding proficiency, you’ll be tested on algorithms, mathematics, data manipulation, and applied problem-solving skills. Employers also expect you to discuss how to deploy models in production and maintain them effectively—touching on MLOps or advanced system design for scaling model inferences. In this guide, we’ve compiled 30 real coding & system‑design questions you might face in a machine learning job interview. From linear regression to distributed training strategies, these questions aim to test your depth of knowledge and practical know‑how. And if you’re ready to find your next ML opportunity in the UK, head to www.machinelearningjobs.co.uk—a prime location for the latest machine learning vacancies. Let’s dive in and gear up for success in your forthcoming interviews.

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.
