Join to apply for the Senior Machine Learning Engineer, AI Infrastructure, Autonomy role at Rivian

Role Summary

We are looking for a full-time Machine Learning Engineer, with deep knowledge and strong enthusiasm towards establishing a state-of-art AI infrastructure for training very large foundation models and accelerating model training/inference. Our mission is to solve the autonomous driving problem. You will work with a team of talented software engineers, machine learning engineers and research scientists to push the boundary of state-of-art machine learning models which will enable the next-generation E2E solution of autonomous driving.

Responsibilities
  • Design, train, and deploy large deep learning models that can leverage the vast amount of labeled and unlabeled data from a fleet of million vehicles
  • Improve ecosystem for training infrastructure and deployment pipeline to accelerate model iteration and improve performance.
Qualifications
  • PhD in CS/CE/EE, or equivalent, in industry experience
  • Deep knowledge of PyTorch
  • Experience with Cuda or Triton language for writing custom ops
  • Knowledge of model training framework (e.g. PyTorch Lightning)
  • In-depth knowledge of transformer architecture and ways to accelerate the training and inference of transformer models
  • Experience of performing large scale distributed training of models
  • A track record of profiling model and doing detective work to improve model training and inference speed
Preferred Qualifications
  • Previous experience in the autonomous driving industry
  • Knowledge of Nvidia TensorRT

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.
