Data Analyst

As part of a small and effective team of engineers, you will be responsible for collating, processing, and analysing data from a wide range of our sensors and IoT applications from across the globe. From wind turbines, trains, to escalators, our products operate in challenging environments gathering data which provide real value to our clients.

Your role will be to research, identify and implement Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to our data analysis methods, and to work with the engineering team to apply engineering calculations and simulations to our data, writing reports for clients and creating dashboards for client access. The majority of our data comes in the form of strain, vibration or audio signals, and images or videos, so any experience working with these including computer vision experience would be of great benefit.

You will have experience in a range of software languages for data analysis and be prepared to learn more from our team and from your own research. The main languages used are Python and SQL so prior experience of these would be ideal, but is not required if experience in other similar languages can be shown.

The team culture is one of honesty, humour, integrity, consensus and collaboration, we have few meetings but many chats, we usually eat together once a week, and you will work closely with people from all disciplines including electronic, mechanical, workshop technicians, project managers, and the administration team. A desire to learn, to constantly strive for perfection, and to achieve elegant output in your work will mean a perfect fit with us.

A good degree in a related subject may be beneficial but is not required provided you can demonstrate your competence in key areas. Experience in the mechanical engineering field would be of benefit.

You will have a good grounding in, and be able to demonstrate your capability in:

  • Maths
  • English
  • General software understanding
  • Broad engineering knowledge
  • Fluency in multiple data analysis languages

The position is office based only, no remote working.

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

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

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

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

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

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
