Machine Learning Engineer

DEIMOS is looking for an engineer to join the Computer Vision/Artificial Intelligence (CV/AI) Competence Centre of the Avionics Business Unit, Flight Systems Directorate.

This role focuses on supporting Deimos’ AI/CV flight systems team in researching, developing, deploying and scaling our computer vision portfolio for onboard processing applications in Space. You will work on Machine Learning projects and products throughout their lifecycle – from early-phase R&D activities to productization and deployment.

The work of the AI/CV Competence Centre is oriented to the design, development, specification, and validation of Computer Vision solutions for embedded flight segment applications, including real-time advanced onboard data processing and intelligent decision making.

This preferred locations for this role are either Harwell, UK, or Madrid, Spain, although other Deimos sites may also be considered.

Duties:

The main responsibilities are:

Research, design, implement, and deploy machine learning models and algorithms that address specific challenges and opportunities related to on-board processing in Space. Collaborate with team-members and clients across Europe to understand project requirements, objectives, and constraints. Process and analyse datasets to extract meaningful insights and features for model development. Design, implement and maintain industry-standard MLOps infrastructure for new and existing ML products Optimize and standardize ML training and validation processes, data warehousing and pipelines.

Education:

Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.

Professional Experience:

The position will be tailored to the level of experience; practical industry experience deploying and maintaining ML systems in production would be viewed very positively.

Technical Requirements:

Required:

Strong foundation in machine learning algorithms, statistics, and data structures within relevant technical projects. Proficiency in programming languages, frameworks, and tools, such as Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch. Experience with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques.

Highly Desirable:

Experience working on aerospace-related projects Experience deploying MLOps solutions and working within CI/CD frameworks Experience with Linux systems and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, etc.) Experience developing embedded ML applications (C++, CUDA, TensorRT)

Language Skills:

Good level of English, spoken and written

Personal Skills:

Capability to integrate in and work within a trans-European team Solid organisational, analytical and reporting skills Autonomy and willingness to take initiative Excellent communication skills Energetic, positive team player mentality

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

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

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
