NVIDIA is seeking Senior Application Engineer for technical collaboration on Materials and Chemical Discovery using AI. Sr Application Engineers are drawn from elite developers and scientists who enjoy working with the latest in GPU hardware and AI Models. An ideal candidate is someone who is entrepreneurial, self-motivated, creative and passionate about bringing the latest techniques to customers who want to accelerate the discovery of novel materials using Predictive AI or Generative AI. Discovery of new materials and chemicals is one of the core workloads across a broad range of customers including supercomputing, higher education, manufacturing, semiconductors, agriculture, etc.

As a Sr. Application Engineer, you will be part of the team comprising Product Managers and Strategic Alliance Partners and working with customers.

What you will be doing:

  • Work directly with developers and researchers who are building, fine-tuning or optimizing AI models for Chemistry and Material discovery.

  • Collaborate with publishers of open-source applications, datasets, frameworks used for AI Driven Chemical and Materials discovery and display their ability to use NVIDIA ALCHEMI.

  • Profile, benchmark and suggest optimization strategies to developers building AI models and Agentic AI workflows for discovering novel materials and formulations.

  • Present at workshops as the domain expert.


What we need to see:

  • Degree in Chemistry, Material Science or related field (Ph.D. or Masters preferred) or equivalent experience.

  • 4+ years of experience with developing or using AI models for chemistry and material discovery using popular deep learning frameworks on CPUs and GPUs.

  • Proven ability to benchmark and compare domain specific AI Models for Materials discovery.

  • Strong written and oral communication skills with the ability to effectively articulate the value proposition to technical and non-technical audiences


Ways to stand out from the crowd:

  • Experience with using AI frameworks e.g PyTroch, JAX

  • Background in the development of chemistry/materials simulation software packages, machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIP) design, or generative AI for chemistry/material science.

  • Knowledge about NV GPU and CUDA- X libraries.

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.
