Robotics ML Engineer: Real‑World Vision & Perception

VIKASO® | Robotics 4.0; Aylesbury; On-site; GBP 70,000 - 110,000; Full time

Job summary

VIKASO LTD in the UK is seeking a PhD- or experienced ML scientist to formulate, train and deploy models for robotic vision and sensing, turning research into production-grade software that improves real-world industrial robotics.

You will build scalable ML pipelines, apply foundation-model ideas and synthetic data validation, and integrate robust models into robotic systems across manufacturing and logistics environments.

Qualifications

• PhD in ML/Robotics/Computer Vision or 3+ years of applied ML experience.
• Strong background in deep learning (computer vision), state-estimation, and core ML mathematics.
• Proficiency in Python (required) and C++ (preferred for robotics integration).
• Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch (preferred), TensorFlow, or JAX.
• Proven track record building production ML systems, not just research prototypes.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: modular design, testing, and version control.
• Experience with cloud/GPU training infrastructure and MLOps workflows.
• Ability to design evaluation and benchmarking frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with pose estimation, object detection/segmentation, camera calibration, and sensor integration.

Responsibilities

• Key objective is to develop and deploy robust deep neural networks for robotics, including object detection, segmentation, scene understanding and 3D reconstruction.
• Build scalable pipelines for training, fine-tuning, inference, and real-time optimization for reliability and performance.
• Develop and maintain data pipelines for collection, ingestion, curation, versioning, and synthetic data generation.
• Work with distributed training systems (multi‑GPU/cloud) and integrate models into robotics pipelines.
