Our Digital Products and Technology (DP&T) team partners with clients to address these challenges by building secure, scalable solutions that integrates IoT, robotics, and engineering data.As a Computer Vision Engineer, you will contribute to the design, development, and deployment of production‑grade computer vision systems, supporting both intelligence generation and autonomous action. You will work in multidisciplinary teams alongside engineers, consultants, and domain experts, transforming complex technical problems into robust, reusable, and maintainable solutions with real‑world impact.## Your roleYou will be involved across the full computer vision lifecycle, from problem definition through to deployment and continuous improvement.* Problem framing & solution design: Translate product, robotics, or inspection needs into well‑scoped computer vision tasks and end‑to‑end processing pipelines.* Data pipelines: Plan and execute data collection, curation, augmentation, and annotation strategies for computer vision datasets.* Modelling & algorithms: Implement, adapt, and fine‑tune computer vision models and methodologies, spanning both 2D and 3D techniques.* Model & pipeline evaluation: Define and implement appropriate performance metrics (accuracy, robustness, latency, efficiency) and carry out structured error and failure‑mode analysis.* Optimisation & deployment: Optimise models and pipelines for deployment on edge and accelerated platforms, balancing accuracy, latency, resource usage, and reliability.* Integration & productionisation: Build and maintain production‑grade inference and processing services suitable for diverse deployment environments. Use version control, CI/CD, and dataset/model versioning to support reproducible and maintainable delivery.## About You* Proficient in Python and / or C++ with hands on experience with tools such as PyTorch and OpenCV.* Understanding and proven experience utilising a wide range of computer vision algorithms including: + Classical deterministic image processing. + 2D based deep learning including object detection and similar processes. + 3D scene reconstruction and spatial reasoning. + Image translation alignment and warping.* Experience managing the full model lifecycle: training, validation, tuning, deployment, maintenance and iterative improvement.* Understanding of hardware acceleration for development and deployment, including technologies such as CUDA, DirectML, and ONNX execution providers.* Solid experience using Git (or equivalent) and working within CI/CD pipelines.* Ability to produce clear, structured technical documentation, including design decisions, data and model lineage, evaluation results, and operational guidance, suitable for both engineering and non‑specialist stakeholders.* Experience using open‑source data labelling tools (e.g. Label Studio or similar).* Experience integrating multi‑modal vision data, including: + Standard 2D imagery (colour and grayscale). + Depth sensing technologies. + Hyperspectral imagery. + X‑ray and gamma imaging.Bonus Skills That Help You Thrive. These aren't required, but they'll help you make an even greater impact:* Embedded and edge acceleration, including CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT.* Advanced 3D representations such as NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting.* Experience with 3D visualisation or simulation engines (e.g. NVIDIA Omniverse, Unity, Unreal).* Model explainability techniques (e.g. class activation maps).* CI/CD‑based testing of ML and computer vision pipelines.* Understanding of open‑source licensing and its implications in commercial and regulated environments.## Reward & benefitsExplore the rewards and benefits that help you thrive – at every stage of your life and your career. Enjoy competitive salaries, employee rewards and a brilliant range of benefits you can tailor to suit your own health, wellbeing, financial and lifestyle choices. Make the most of a myriad of opportunities for training and professional development to grow your skills and expertise. And combine our hybrid working culture and flexible holiday allowances to balance a great job and fulfilling personal life.## About AtkinsRéalisWe're , a world-class engineering services and nuclear organization.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

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

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

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

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
