Senior Data Scientist London, United Kingdom

Machine Learning Engineer (Manager)

You will be responsible for undertaking mathematical analysis, modelling and simulation of complex systems from either our underwater weapon or radar portfolios, taking solutions through to design implementation.

Identify, develop and evolve system capability solutions and resolve engineering issues for a range of operational scenarios through algorithmic definition and system performance modelling and simulation. Utilise modelling and simulation to verify and validate these solutions for customer stakeholders.

You will be required to apply the principles of Systems Engineering to support various phases of the engineering development lifecycle and subsequently into system customer support which can encompass further system capability evolution.

What you\'ll be doing:

  • Conduct mathematical modelling and simulation development devising and evolving algorithmic and design solutions to meet system capability and performance requirements of complex underwater weapon or radar systems
  • Develop, maintain and evolve high-fidelity, high-integrity, high-complexity mathematical models and performance simulations of technical solutions for such systems
  • Utilise mathematical modelling and simulation to identify and develop performance enhancements and novel solutions to improve existing underwater weapon or radar product capability and evolve future associated technologies
  • Develop novel solutions to evolving technical challenges and emerging issues that our customer community are facing
  • Support multi-disciplined engineering teams in the realisation, implementation, verification and validation of algorithmic and design solutions for deployable underwater weapon or radar systems
  • Conduct system performance analysis and design trade-offs of principle system parameters in order to characterise and define system design constraints and limitations in various operational scenarios
  • Undertake system performance analysis of integration and post trials data to inform underwater weapon or radar systems design solutions, and to generate customer acceptance evidence
  • Be a technical focus point for development and analysis activities, preparing and presenting technical aspects to the required stakeholders
  • Apply a breadth of knowledge, skills and experience of Systems Engineering (e.g. ISO 15288) to design and develop solutions and resolve engineering issues and problems for a range of products and engineering situations across our underwater or radar sectors

Your skills and experiences will embody some or all of the following:

  • A strong mathematical and engineering mind-set with an innovative approach to problem solving that can be applied to resolving complex technical and system level requirements
  • Understands engineering principles and approaches and be capable of systems thinking, applying holistic approaches to complex problems
  • Experience of mathematical simulation tools/languages (e.g. Mathworks MATLAB, Simulink, Pearl, Python, MathCAD)
  • Experience of using a high level design methodology (e.g. SysML, UML) to define modelled solutions for subsequent implementation
  • An understanding of factors that can affect the real world performance of underwater weapon or radar systems and how these can impact modelled or simulated performance prediction
  • An understanding of signal processing and/or tracking algorithms and techniques employed on contemporary radio, satellite, radar or sonar real-world systems would be an advantage
  • Confident presenting both technical and non-technical information in a formal setting
  • Further education (or equivalent experience) in a relevant STEM discipline

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
