Machine Learning Engineer

We are working in partnership with a leading technology organisation to recruit an experienced Machine Learning Engineer. The successful candidate will design, train, and optimise high-performance machine learning models, build and manage datasets for real-world sensing systems, and clearly communicate technical work to stakeholders.

Based in North Somerset, you'll be part of a collaborative and forward-thinking environment that encourages rapid prototyping and experimentation. You’ll work within multidisciplinary teams to develop, validate and deploy machine learning models to meet challenging customer requirements.

Key Responsibilities
 
Develop and train neural network models using frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow
Select and adapt model architectures to meet specific project requirements
Build, curate, and manage training datasets, including data augmentation, feature extraction, and labelling
Conduct model training, validation, and performance optimisation
Collaborate with software engineers to integrate models into embedded or application environments
Produce clear technical documentation and communicate findings to technical and non-technical audiences
Requirements
 
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
Strong development skills in Python and C/C++
Experience with neural network architectures including RNNs, transformers, and vector quantisation
In-depth knowledge of machine learning architectures and training algorithms
Experience in model training, quantisation, and conversion for inference
Hands-on experience with data preparation, augmentation, and feature extraction
Excellent communication and technical writing skills
UK national, eligible for security clearance
Due to the nature of work at our client’s site, these vacancies are only open to British Citizens who hold security clearance or can obtain it.

This is a permanent role with a salary range of £38,000–£70,000.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.
