Machine Learning Engineer (Applied AI / Scientific Computing)

Location: Surrey, UK (Office based)

Details: Full-Time | Truly competitive salary + Bonus + unrivalled benefits

A global software company is evolving its core engineering platforms by embedding machine learning and applied AI into high-performance simulation and modelling tools used worldwide.

This is a hands-on applied AI role — focused on building and deploying ML solutions inside production-grade engineering systems, not isolated research or experimental prototypes.

The position:

You’ll design, build, and deploy machine learning models that directly enhance complex engineering software products. Expect a blend of ML engineering, software development, and computational problem solving.

You’ll work across the full ML lifecycle, ensuring models are not only accurate, but efficient, scalable, and production-ready.

Key Responsibilities:

* Build and deploy ML models into production engineering software systems

* Own the full ML pipeline: data prep, feature engineering, training, evaluation, optimisation

* Translate complex scientific/engineering problems into ML-driven solutions

* Improve model performance in compute-intensive environments

* Write clean, testable, maintainable production code

* Integrate ML services via APIs and software components

* Collaborate with engineers and domain specialists on real-world systems

Experience required:

* Strong Python programming and software engineering fundamentals

* Proven experience applying ML to real-world datasets and problems

* Understanding of model trade-offs, performance, and production constraints

* Experience working with complex or imperfect data (not just curated datasets)

* Ability to write efficient, scalable, production-quality code

Desirable Experience:

* PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar ML frameworks

* Scientific computing / numerical methods / optimisation

* GPU acceleration or high-performance computing

* MLOps, model deployment, APIs, or production pipelines

What’s great about this position:

* Focus on applied AI in real engineering systems

* Work on technically challenging, high-impact problems

* Close collaboration with experienced engineers and domain experts

* Influence how AI is embedded into core global software products

* Long-term technical depth, not short-cycle ML experimentation

Please sind a copy of your CV to apply or call us for an informal chat. Thanks.

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.
