Job Description: Arm's Machine Learning Group is seeking highly motivated and creative Software Engineers to join the Cambridge-based ML Content, Algorithms and Tools team This Machine Learning Engineer role focuses on advancing the field of AI by optimizing and deploying pioneering models, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI algorithms. This involves deep analysis of neural networks, optimizing software and hardware, developing innovative solutions, and collaborating with teams to build high-performance AI systems. Responsibilities : Your responsibilities involve working with major ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.) to port and develop ML networks, optimize and quantize models for efficient execution on Arm platforms, and help ensure multiple Arm products are designed to perform effectively for machine learning. As an in-depth technical responsibility, you will need to deeply understand the complex applications you analyze and communicate them in their simplest form to contribute to product designs, allowing you to influence both IP and system architecture. Required Skills and Experience : A background in computer science, software engineering or other comparable skills Experience training and debugging neural networks with TensorFlow and PyTorch using Python Understanding, deploying, and optimizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI algorithms. Experience using software development platforms and continuous integration systems Familiarity with Linux and cloud services Have a strong attention to detail to ensure use cases you investigate are well understood and the critical areas needing improvement are understood Nice To Have Skills and Experience : Experience of the inner workings of Pytorch, Tensorflow, Executorch and Tensorflow Lite Experience of developing and maintaining CI/testing components to improve automation of model analysis Good knowledge of Python for working with ML frameworks Good knowledge of C++ for working with optimised ML libraries Previous experience of machine learning projects Experience with deployment optimizations on machine learning models In Return : From research to proof-of-concept development, to deployment on ARM IPs, joining this team would be a phenomenal opportunity to contribute to the full life cycle of machine learning projects and understand how innovative machine learning is used to solve real word problems. Working closely with experts in ML and software and hardware optimisation - a truly multi-discipline environment - you will have the chance to explore existing or build new machine learning techniques, while helping unpick the complex world of use-cases spanning mobile phones, servers, autonomous driving vehicles, and low-power embedded devices LI-TE Accommodations at Arm At Arm, we want our people to Do Great Things . If you need support or an accommodation to Be Your Brilliant Self during the recruitment process, please email accommodationsarm.com . To note, by sending us the requested information, you consent to its use by Arm to arrange for appropriate accommodations. All accommodation requests will be treated with confidentiality, and information concerning these requests will only be disclosed as necessary to provide the accommodation.

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.

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.
