This company are seeking a skilled Machine Vision Engineer to take a leading role in the design and delivery of advanced embedded vision solutions. This is a newly created position within a growing engineering team, offering the chance to shape innovative imaging technology with applications in regulated and safety-critical sectors.

The organisation develops specialised detection products that combine high-speed image analysis with embedded AI, delivering reliable performance in challenging environments. With continued investment in AI and computer vision, they are looking to appoint an expert who can take ownership of vision algorithm development, from concept to certified deployment.

The role will involve designing, optimising, and integrating real-time imaging algorithms for bespoke camera hardware, ensuring deterministic and certifiable performance.

A great opportunity to join a thriving business at a very exciting time.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and refine embedded real-time vision algorithms

Build image processing pipelines for specialist camera sensors

Integrate fixed AI models for regulated applications

Ensure consistency, reproducibility, and compliance with certification standards

Test and validate algorithms under diverse operational conditions

Collaborate with internal and external engineering teams
The Person

Extensive experience in embedded vision (C/C++, Linux, image processing pipelines)

Practical knowledge of imaging sensor technology

Familiarity with AI/ML for vision CNNs, object tracking, segmentation

Understanding of low-latency, resource-constrained processing environments

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.
