Responsibilities:

    • Develop scalable and efficient machine learning algorithms to tackle PCB place-and-route challenges.
    • Adapt and optimize ML models for large-scale distributed computing environments (e.g., GPUs, multi-node clusters).
    • Build, test, and deploy robust production-level ML systems integrated into the DeepPCB platform.
    • Collaborate with research scientists, software engineers, product managers, and business development teams.
    • Clearly document and present your work internally and externally, adjusting technical depth based on the audience.
    • Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and customer-facing activities when required.

Requirements:

    • B.Sc., M.Sc., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
    • 5 years of professional experience in applied machine learning or engineering roles.
    • Strong expertise in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, with exposure to Reinforcement Learning as a plus.
    • Proficiency in Python and modern ML libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, or Keras).
    • Experience with version control systems (GitHub, GitLab) and knowledge of clean, maintainable coding practices.
    • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for automating ML workflows.
    • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic environment.

Nice to haves:

    • Prior experience with PCB design, EDA tools, or related optimization problems.
    • Hands-on experience in high-performance computing environments (e.g., Kubernetes, Ray, Dask).
    • Contributions to open-source projects, publications, or top placements in ML competitions (e.g., Kaggle).
    • Expertise in related fields such as Computer Vision, Representation Learning, or Simulation Environments.

The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
