Role Overview

Are you a recent graduate or early-career professional with a passion for data and problem-solving? We are looking for a Junior R&D Data Analyst to help us capture, process, and analyse data from experiments and machines. You will work closely with our R&D team, learning how to turn raw data into insights that drive innovation and improve processes.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience in data analysis, laboratory work, and applied research while building a strong foundation in R&D and manufacturing technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Data Capture & Management

* Assist the R&D team in collecting and organizing data from lab experiments and deployed machines.

* Support the development and maintenance of digital and manual data collection systems.

* Help ensure data is accurate, well-documented, and easy to access for analysis.

Data Analysis & Insights

* Learn to analyze data to identify trends, patterns, and opportunities for improvement.

* Support the team with statistical analysis, simple modeling, and reporting.

* Translate findings into clear and practical insights for internal teams and clients.

Visualization & Communication

* Help create dashboards, reports, and KPIs to communicate data effectively.

* Present data in a clear and accessible way to support decision-making.

* Assist in preparing presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

General Responsibilities

* Support R&D projects, helping to bring ideas from concept to delivery.

* Assist with lab operations and experiments under guidance.

* Learn and follow health and safety protocols in the laboratory environment.

* Contribute ideas to improve internal processes and workflows.

Who We’re Looking For

Qualifications & Skills

* Recent graduate or studying in Data Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field.

* Familiarity with Excel, Python, SQL, Power BI, or similar tools is a plus (training provided if needed).

* Interest in data analysis and turning data into actionable insights.

* Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity to learn new tools and techniques.

* Good communication skills, both written and verbal.

* Interest in materials, manufacturing, or R&D environments is desirable but not essential.

Personal Qualities

* Eager to learn and grow in a hands-on, technical environment.

* Comfortable working in a team and contributing ideas.

* Detail-oriented with a commitment to producing high-quality work.

* Analytical mindset and curiosity to explore data.

* Adaptable, flexible, and willing to take initiative.

* Enthusiasm for emerging technologies like AI, Machine Learning, and automation is a bonus.

Additional Requirements

Robotics Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills for engineers and researchers in manufacturing, logistics, autonomous vehicles, defence and healthcare. In the UK, most robotics jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Bristol, Oxford, Manchester and Edinburgh, with common titles including Robotics Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Controls Engineer and Mechatronics Engineer. The most efficient way to browse live robotics jobs is via specialist boards like RoboticsJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in generic tech listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about robotics jobs in the UK in 2026, from the roles and skills in demand to where to find live opportunities and how to stand out as a candidate.

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

Where to advertise robotics jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, university channels and community routes that reach robotics, SLAM and controls talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the automation hiring trends shaping UK robotics careers over the next three years — industrial, service and humanoid. 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.
