Overview

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a rapidly scaling deep-tech company that’s reinventing how the world designs and makes advanced materials. By combining artificial intelligence, physics-based simulation, and cutting-edge 3D printing, our client is transforming the way metal components are conceived, tested, and produced — enabling breakthroughs in aerospace, energy, and beyond.

This is a rare chance to apply your ML expertise to problems that have a tangible, physical impact — from inventing new alloys to optimising complex manufacturing processes. You’ll collaborate with leading data scientists, engineers, and materials researchers to build models that drive real-world innovation. Expect to design, validate, and deploy state-of-the-art ML pipelines that move seamlessly from concept to production.

If you thrive in fast-paced, intellectually charged environments where every model could change an industry, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and materials researchers to design, validate, and deploy ML models and pipelines that move from concept to production.
• Develop and maintain scalable ML workflows using the specified tech stack (Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, MLflow, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLOps).
• Apply Bayesian modelling and probabilistic programming techniques where appropriate to quantify uncertainty and improve decision making.
• Work with data visualization tools to communicate model results to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to the design of AI-enabled simulations and 3D printing workflows in collaboration with materials researchers.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment to ensure reliable production systems.

Qualifications

• Experience with Python and a strong background in ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn).
• Experience with ML tooling (MLflow, Airflow), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Proficiency with data libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy) and data visualization.
• Experience with CI/CD, MLOps, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Familiarity with Bayesian modelling and probabilistic programming.
• Version control (Git) and Agile methodologies.

Benefits

• Competitive salary with annual performance-based bonuses
• Equity options — share in the company's long-term success
• Private healthcare and comprehensive wellbeing package
• Generous pension scheme (up to 8%)
• Dedicated R&D time to explore new technologies and research ideas
• Annual training & conference allowance of £5,000 for personal development
• Flexible and hybrid working — work where you're most effective
• Opportunities for international collaboration with teams in Europe, Asia, and the US
• 25 days holiday plus your birthday off and extra days for long service
• Regular team offsites, guest talks, and hack weeks to spark innovation
• An open, supportive culture that values curiosity, creativity, and deep technical mastery

Location and Salary

Location: Oxford, UK

Salary: £45,000-£80,000 (DOE) + Bonus + Equity + Pension + Benefits

Applicants must be based in the UK and have the right to work in the UK, even though remote working is available.
