Role- Data Scientist

Location: London, UK

Type of job : Contract

Work mode : Hybrid- 2 days onsite in a week

Responsibilities:

* Explore, clean, and analyse large, complex datasets to uncover patterns, trends, and opportunities that drive actionable insights.

* Develop, train, and validate machine learning, statistical, and predictive models that solve real business problems and deliver measurable impact.

* Design and run experiments (A/B tests, hypothesis tests, simulations) to evaluate ideas, quantify outcomes, and guide decision‑making.

* Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, product managers, and domain experts to translate business requirements into well‑defined modelling tasks.

* Build end‑to‑end ML pipelines—from feature engineering and preprocessing to deployment‑ready model outputs.

* Apply advanced techniques such as NLP, time‑series forecasting, anomaly detection, optimisation, or LLM/GenAI methods where relevant.

* Implement model evaluation frameworks using offline metrics, cross‑validation, online experiments, and human‑in‑the‑loop feedback loops.

* Communicate insights clearly through dashboards, visualisations, written summaries, and presentations tailored to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

* Ensure models are interpretable and explainable where required, providing transparency into key drivers and assumptions.

* Work with engineering teams to deploy models into production, monitor performance, and retrain or recalibrate as data and conditions change.

Essential skills:

Hands-on experience with GenAI, Gemini or Open source LLMs and develop GenAI applications for Code Translation, Text Extraction, Summarisation and SDLC Optimization etc.

* Hands-on Experience with AI Agents, Chat bots, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and vector databases. ( PG vector / croma DB )

* Hands-on Experience with GenAI Performance Evaluation tools like Pegasus, Ragas, DeepEval

* Create Conversational Interface with React JS or other Frontend components, Develop and deploy AI agents using LangGraph and ADK, A2A, MCP

* Strong programming skills in Python (experience with LangChain/LangGraph / LangSmith frameworks) and TypeScript ( preferable )

* Solid understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, and graph-based workflows.

* Knowledge and implementation of Input and Output guardrails in addressing Hallucination, PII filtering, HAP and Bias etc.

* Implemented security best practices, Experience to address spikes and Denial of wallet attacks, DDoS attack and other Spike arrest strategies

* Knowledge of API Gateways and ISTIO , ability to Diagnose and intercept failures in End to End communication

* Hands-on Experience with API Development and Microservices architecture

Desirable experience:

* Strong experience applying machine learning, statistical modelling, and predictive analytics to real‑world business problems.

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ability to resolve end to end connectivity and Data Integrations

* Experience working with large, complex datasets, including data cleaning, feature engineering, and exploratory data analysis.

* Familiarity with LLMs, NLP techniques, and GenAI frameworks, including embeddings, prompt engineering, or fine‑tuning.

* Experience building end‑to‑end ML pipelines, including model validation, optimisation, deployment, and monitoring.

* Understanding of MLOps practices, including model versioning, model registries, CI/CD for ML, and automated training/inference workflows.

* Ability to translate business problems into analytical tasks and communicate insights in a clear, concise manner to technical and non‑technical audiences.

* Knowledge of data governance, including data quality, lineage, ethics, privacy considerations, and responsible AI principles.

* Comfort working with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) for model training, deployment, and scalable compute.

* A growth‑oriented mindset with enthusiasm for exploring new algorithms, tools, and emerging AI/ML techniques

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.
