TL;DR This role is for you if you love building world-class SLAM and localisation systems and want a messier, faster, real-world challenge. Expect to:



  • Own the full lifecycle of SLAM and computer vision modules: design, develop, test and optimise.
  • Deploy and iterate directly on customer sites, living and breathing the problems your solutions solve.
  • Collaborate closely with software, hardware, and product teams to push robotics capabilities forward.
  • Tackle complex, multi-disciplinary problems in messy environments, and see your work make real-world impact, now.

About Paddington Robotics

At P9R7, we’re building robots that can handle the messy, unpredictable and chaotic real world! Our mission: become the UK’s go‑to applied AI robotics team - and we’ll do whatever it takes to get there.


What we actually do:



  • Build insane AI models and hardware that let robots work safely alongside humans - lifting, moving, and getting stuff done better and faster.
  • Spend lots of time on Customer sites, to better understand and solve for the messy chaos of most environments.
  • Think 10+ years ahead, reimagining manual labour and creating robots that become complementary assistants for labour intensive and physically demanding tasks.

Robotics Computer Vision Engineer @ Paddington Robotics

We’re hiring an experienced Robotics Computer Vision Engineer to lead our localisation, SLAM, and computer vision modules. You’ll work closely with our software and hardware engineers to build world‑class capabilities that let robots navigate messy environments and complex human‑robot interactions.


Unlike other companies, here you’ll work end‑to‑end, at breakneck speed. You’ll deploy directly to customer sites, live and breathe the problems our robots solve, and own the full lifecycle: spec, implementation, testing, and maintenance.


About You

  • You’ve built world‑class SLAM and localisation for real‑world products, not just in academia, and want a new, messier, faster challenge.
  • You live and breathe the latest developments in SLAM, computer vision and sensor fusion and want to have the freedom to build something even better.
  • You’re highly collaborative, love working with others, and enjoy sharing knowledge, mentoring, and embracing feedback.
  • You thrive in a messy startup environment: moving fast, iterating constantly, and building something incredible in a scrappy, hands‑on team.
  • You’re a practical problem solver: you can take your expertise and tackle hairy engineering challenges in messy, real‑world environments.

Above all, we’re building a team of creative, outside‑the‑box thinkers. To thrive here, you are:



  • Highly ambitious: comfortable taking a project from concept to completion - you do whatever it takes to win.
  • Self‑directed and proactive: you thrive in a dynamic, unpredictable, multi‑disciplinary environment.
  • Enthusiastic team player: you ask questions, help others, and communicate effectively.

What Will Impress Us

We love proactive doers. Show us what you’ve built – whether it’s interfaces, projects, or experiments. Tell us why our mission excites you. Be bold, be creative, and don’t feel embarrassed to stand out from the crowd.


Location

Our London office is right by Portobello Road. We work full‑time, and largely on‑site (4 days a week). Expect vibrant startup energy with a team that knows when to laugh, and when to buckle down.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
