Overview
Are you passionate about transforming raw data into powerful insights that drive innovation and impact? Join a forward-thinking consultancy that combines strategy, design, and engineering to deliver cutting-edge digital solutions at scale.
This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment where curiosity, creativity, and technical expertise are celebrated. You’ll help clients tackle complex challenges and adapt to a fast-changing world, using cloud technologies and modern data practices to make a lasting difference.

What You’ll Be Doing

Design and deploy scalable data pipelines from ingestion to consumption using tools like Python, Scala, Spark, Java, and SQL.
Integrate data engineering components into wider production systems in collaboration with software engineering teams.
Work with large volumes of structured and unstructured data from diverse sources, applying robust data wrangling, cleaning, and transformation techniques.
Develop solutions in AWS using services like EMR, Glue, RedShift, Kinesis, Lambda, and DynamoDB (or equivalent open-source tools).
Apply your knowledge of batch and stream processing, and where applicable, contribute to data science and machine learning initiatives.
Operate in Agile environments and actively participate in Scrum ceremonies.
Use your understanding of best practices in cloud-native data architecture, including serverless and container-based approaches.What We’re Looking For

Proven experience designing and building data pipelines and data architectures in cloud environments, particularly AWS.
Strong coding ability in languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
Hands-on experience with data ingestion, transformation, and storage technologies.
Familiarity with data visualization, reporting, and analytical tools.
Comfortable working in Agile teams and contributing to all stages of development.
Willingness to travel to client sites when necessary.Desirable Skills

Experience with AWS-native tools for data processing (EMR, Glue, RedShift, Kinesis, etc.).
Familiarity with open-source equivalents is also welcome.
Knowledge of machine learning, data mining, or natural language processing is a plus.
Understanding of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and serverless architectures.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
