Direct message the job poster from microTECH Global LTD

As a Researcher, your main task will be to develop breakthrough technologies in the area of Vision and Language. You are expected to conduct high-impact research targeting the top Computer Vision and Machine Learning venues, and to focus on solutions to key technical challenges.

While the target is mid- to long-term research, upon maturity of the research, the team is expected to transfer the technology to product divisions and their Engineering teams, which will then be in charge of driving the commercialization.

Role and Responsibilities

We have 1 position open in the broad areas of Machine Learning and Computer Vision with a focus on Vision and Language. The positions are part of the Future Interaction Research Programme. Our topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Contrastively-trained and auto-regressive Vision & Language (e.g. CLIP, BLIP).
  • Visual LLMs (e.g. LLaVA).
  • Generative Models (e.g. Stable Diffusion and Auto-Regressive models).
  • Efficient Adaptation of Large Models.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct hands-on innovative research, including methodological conceptualization and implementation.
  • Publishing at top venues: CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, EMNLP, ACL, TPAMI and IJCV.
  • Contribute to the research agenda and directions within the center.
  • Interact with product and engineering teams for the purpose of technology transfer.

Skills and Qualifications

Key Skills Required:

  • Research experience in the fields of Computer Vision and/or Machine Learning.
  • Familiarity with fast prototyping Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • A track record of publishing at top-tier venues (e.g. CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICLR, NeurIPS, EMNLP, ACL, ICML, TPAMI and IJCV).
  • Ability to communicate well and to collaborate with other group members.

Experience in the topics described above, or closely related topics, is a plus but not necessary.

What we offer:

  • An excellent research environment: autonomy to define a research agenda along the centre’s core lines, opportunities to collaborate with excellent researchers and to publish at top conferences.
  • Opportunity to transfer research into impact, and get your work reach millions of customers.
  • A top-tier package, on par with the top companies in the industry in Europe.
  • An excellent location at the heart of Cambridge, and at commute’s distance from London.
  • Hybrid working with 3 days onsite and 2 days working from home weekly

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
