Do you want to join the team working on the bleeding edge technology? Have you ever wondered how we can give voice to the devices? Or join the team developing GenAI models?

Our team is working on all of the above, join us to see yourself. Text-to-Speech on Device team is responsible for development AI based voice models working locally on the devices. This require specific mix of skills between devices integration, voice generation technologies and machine learning.

We are delivering solutions for multiple customers, including offline solutions for Alexa, automotive customers and accessibility voices for visually impaired users. All our models are integrated for devices and working with limited hardware resources.

Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an Applied Scientist with experience in building highly optimized Machine Learning models for speech generation.

As an Applied Scientist, you will:
- Work with the team on end-to-end development of an ML models for speech generation, from early experimentation to building production ready models
- Engage in state-of-the-art and innovative research in areas such as Speech Generation, Gen AI, model compression, and knowledge distillation
- Invent optimization techniques to push the boundaries of deep learning model training and inference
- Create and propose detailed theoretical specifications for novel research ideas and directions, and rigorously justify their correctness
- Train custom Speech Generation and Gen AI models that beat the state-of-the-art and paves path for developing production models
- Collaborate with other science teams to bring state-of-the-art Speech Generation models from cloud to devices

About the team
Text-to-Speech on Device team is focused on delivery of low-footprint AI models for speech generation that can work locally on devices (Android, FireOS, etc.). These models require much less computation power then the ones hosted in cloud. We are cooperating directly with the teams developing devices and with scientists responsible for the cloud models in order to provide our customers best possible experience.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
