Overview
A global software company is evolving its core engineering platforms by embedding machine learning and applied AI into high performance simulation and modelling tools used worldwide.
This is a hands on applied AI role - focused on building and deploying ML solutions inside production grade engineering systems, not isolated research or experimental prototypes.
Responsibilities
- Create, deploy, and maintain machine learning models in production engineering software systems.
- Own the full ML pipeline: data preparation, feature engineering, training, evaluation, and optimisation.
- Translate complex scientific/engineering problems into ML driven solutions.
- Improve model performance in compute intensive environments.
- Write clean, testable, maintainable production code.
- Integrate ML services via APIs and software components.
- Collaborate with engineers and domain specialists on real world systems.
Required Experience and Skills
- Strong Python programming and software engineering fundamentals.
- Proven experience applying machine learning to real world datasets and problems.
- Understanding of model trade offs, performance, and production constraints.
- Experience working with complex or imperfect data.
- Ability to write efficient, scalable, production quality code.
- Senior level (5+ years of experience).
Desired Experience
- PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar ML frameworks.
- Scientific computing, numerical methods, optimisation.
- GPU acceleration or high performance computing.
- MLOps, model deployment, APIs, or production pipelines.
Benefits
- Focus on applied AI in real engineering systems.
- Work on technically challenging, high impact problems.
- Close collaboration with experienced engineers and domain experts.
- Influence how AI is embedded into core global software products.
- Long term technical depth, not short cycle ML experimentation.
