Are you ready to take your career to the next level by working on cutting-edge technology in the agricultural sector? This is your opportunity to be part of an innovative company that is revolutionising the way agriculture operates at their UK R&D facility. As a **Machine Learning Engineer - Robotics & Perception**, you will play a pivotal role in developing intelligent systems that are deployed in real-world environments, making a tangible impact on the industry. By helping design, train, and deploy perception systems — from image segmentation and object classification through to stereo camera pipelines and real-time deep neural inference. You will work closely with robotics, embedded, and systems engineers to bring cutting-edge vision intelligence into production agricultural environments

What You Will Do:

- Design and implement machine learning pipelines for image segmentation, object detection, and 3D scene reconstruction.

- Train and optimise deep neural network models using frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

- Manage and curate training datasets, including developing data augmentation and annotation strategies.

- Deploy machine learning models to embedded and edge computing platforms for real-time performance.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate perception modules into broader system architectures.

- Maintain thorough documentation of model architectures, experiment results, and deployment procedures.

What You Will Bring:

- Proven experience in machine learning or computer vision engineering, with a strong understanding of CNN architectures such as YOLO.

- Proficiency in C, C++, Python and familiarity with Linux-based development environments.

- Knowledge of stereo vision pipelines, depth estimation, and geometric computer vision techniques.

- Experience in optimising and deploying models to constrained hardware environments.

- A Phd or degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent industry experience.

By joining this company, you'll contribute to creating intelligent systems that are transforming agricultural practices. The role offers the chance to work on innovative projects alongside a supportive and talented team. This company values quality, continuous learning, and delivering real-world solutions that make a difference.

Location:

This role is based onsite in Newport Shropshire, this position is commutable from Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Cannock and Bridgnorth

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.
