Overview

Experimental Data Engineer - Advanced Engineering Start-Up - Oxfordshire

We have an incredible opportunity for an Experimental Data Engineer to join one of the UK's most exciting venture-backed deep-tech start-ups. This fast growing company is redefining the future of high-performance engineered systems and advanced materials, combining world-class engineering with cutting edge data science, proprietary software, and additive manufacturing.

Innovation here isn't theoretical — it's hands-on, tested, and built into the next generation of advanced products.

In this role you'll work alongside exceptional engineers, metallurgists, and software developers at the forefront of materials design, precision manufacturing, and experimental validation. This is a chance to be part of a team where experimentation, insight, and creativity directly influence real-world technology.


Responsibilities
  • Design, build, and maintain advanced testing and data acquisition systems.
  • Configure hardware, integrate sensors, and develop software to collect, process, and visualise complex datasets, turning raw data into actionable insights that drive performance and product development.
  • Automate workflows, expand experimental capabilities with new technologies, and collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to ensure all tests are feasible, accurate, and impactful.

Qualifications
  • Strong background in data acquisition systems, preferably using LabVIEW, Python, or C, with hands-on experience in hardware integration and control systems.
  • Comfortable working with high-speed and high-temperature data; familiar with electronics and sensors; experienced in collaborative coding using Git.
  • PhD or industry experience in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, or related STEM disciplines is highly desirable.
  • Additional experience in embedded electronics, performance testing, or UX design for control and visualisation systems is a strong advantage.

Benefits
  • Competitive salary with annual performance-based bonuses
  • Equity options — share in the company's long-term success
  • Private healthcare and comprehensive wellbeing package
  • Generous pension scheme (9% non contributory)
  • Dedicated R&D time to explore new technologies and research ideas
  • Annual training & conference allowance of £5,000 for personal development
  • Flexible and hybrid working — work where you're most effective
  • Opportunities for international collaboration with teams in Europe, Asia, and the US
  • 25 days holiday plus your birthday off and extra days for long service
  • Regular team offsites, guest talks, and hack weeks to spark innovation
  • An open, supportive culture that values curiosity, creativity, and deep technical mastery

If you're passionate about data, experimentation, and cutting-edge engineering, this is your chance to help shape the future of advanced technology. To apply for this position, please send your CV to Lina Savjani at Noir.

How to Write a Data Engineering Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Data engineering is the backbone of modern data-driven organisations. From analytics and machine learning to business intelligence and real-time platforms, data engineers build the pipelines, platforms and infrastructure that make data usable at scale. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right data engineering candidates. Job adverts often generate high application volumes, but few applicants have the practical skills needed to build and maintain production-grade data systems. At the same time, experienced data engineers skip over adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or misaligned with real-world data engineering work. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the quality and clarity of the job advert. Data engineers are pragmatic, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immature data practices and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals strong engineering culture and serious intent. This guide explains how to write a data engineering job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible data employer.

Maths for Data Engineering Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for data engineering jobs in the UK, maths can feel like a vague requirement hiding behind phrases like “strong analytical skills”, “performance mindset” or “ability to reason about systems”. Most of the time, hiring managers are not looking for advanced theory. They want confidence with the handful of maths topics that show up in real pipelines: Rates, units & estimation (throughput, cost, latency, storage growth) Statistics for data quality & observability (distributions, percentiles, outliers, variance) Probability for streaming, sampling & approximate results (sketches like HyperLogLog++ & the logic behind false positives) Discrete maths for DAGs, partitioning & systems thinking (graphs, complexity, hashing) Optimisation intuition for SQL plans & Spark performance (joins, shuffles, partition strategy, “what is the bottleneck”) This article is written for UK job seekers targeting roles like Data Engineer, Analytics Engineer, Platform Data Engineer, Data Warehouse Engineer, Streaming Data Engineer or DataOps Engineer.

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

Every modern organisation runs on data – but without good data engineering, even the best dashboards & machine learning models are built on sand. Data engineers design the pipelines, platforms & tools that make data accurate, accessible & reliable. Those pipelines need people who can think in systems, spot patterns in messy logs, notice what others overlook & design elegant solutions to complex problems. That is exactly why data engineering can be such a strong fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a data engineering career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too disorganised for engineering”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too distracted for complex systems”. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office environments hard often line up beautifully with data engineering work. This guide is written for data engineering job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a data engineering context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data engineering tasks 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 engineering – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine professional superpower.
