Required Qualifications:

  • Extensive experience in optimising AI chip architectures and AI systems, with deep familiarity with mainstream heterogeneous computing software and hardware architectures. Comprehensive expertise spanning applications, foundational software, and chip design.
  • Hands-on experience in at least one of the following areas: numerical computation, compilation, algorithm and chip co-design, runtime systems, or shared memory management.
  • Solid understanding of AI industry application scenarios, mainstream models, and algorithm development trends, with the ability to derive chip-layer requirements from these insights.
  • Expertise in analysing workload sensitivity to micro-architecture features, evaluating performance trade-offs, and providing recommendations to optimise both micro-architecture and application software.
  • Familiarity with the performance impact of various compute, memory, and communication configurations, as well as hardware and software implementation choices for AI acceleration.
  • Proficiency with GPU compute APIs like CUDA or OpenCL, and experience leveraging GPU/NPU-optimised libraries to enhance performance.
  • Practical experience in developing deep learning frameworks, compilers, or system software.
  • Strong background in compiler optimisation techniques; familiarity with LLVM-MLIR is a plus.
  • Proficiency in software development using C/C++ and Python.


Desired Qualifications:

  • Relevant experience in multiple subfields of AI, including application algorithms, frameworks, runtime systems, modelling and simulation, and compilers.
  • In-depth understanding of innovative methods, platforms, and tools used by leading AI manufacturers, with proven experience in translating academic or research achievements into commercial products.
  • Experience with GPU acceleration using AMD or NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Expertise in developing inference backends and compilers for GPU or NPU systems.
  • Proficiency with AI/ML inference frameworks such as ONNXRuntime, IREE, or TVM.
  • Practical experience deploying AI models in production environments.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

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

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
