Data Scientist (NLP & LLM Specialist)

Data Scientist / Data Analyst

We are seeking a talented and hands-on Data Scientist / Data Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will be instrumental in modernising how we handle and analyse our business data. You'll bridge the gap between our legacy on-premises systems and a modern cloud-based data architecture, enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making across the organisation. The ideal candidate will also have strong experience with large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML), which are central to the analytical capabilities we are building. This role includes deploying agentic workflows to automate and enhance decision-making processes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Legacy System Integration: Work with existing SQL-based backend systems (e.g., Redbook 10, Sage 200, Sage CRM) running on virtualized infrastructure in a private cloud. Design and implement lightweight coding solutions to integrate and transfer data from these legacy systems into cloud-based data lakes or warehouses.

  • Cloud Data Solutions and Visualization: Migrate and organize data within platforms like Microsoft Fabric. Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards to provide real-time insights and analytics, helping the senior leadership team and other stakeholders make informed decisions.

  • Technical and Analytical Expertise: Use your coding and data analysis skills to streamline data flows and improve efficiency. Bring at least 2–3 years of real-world experience in a similar environment, along with a relevant university-level qualification.

    Skills and Experience Required:

  • Proven experience with SQL-based systems in a virtualized private cloud.

  • Ability to build lightweight integrations and interfaces to move data from legacy systems to modern cloud data solutions.

  • Hands-on experience with data visualization tools such as Power BI.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate business requirements into actionable data insights.

  • Experience with large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML) is an advantage as well as practical experience in deploying agentic workflows for automated, intelligent data processing and analysis

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
