Lead Machine Learning Engineer

Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: Highly Competitive + Benefits


We’re partnered with an innovative AI company building world-class technology that powers real-time voice and audio intelligence. Their products use deep learning and signal processing to isolate speech, eliminate background noise, and enhance communication clarity across enterprise, consumer, and high-performance sectors.


They’re now looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to take a hands-on leadership role within their R&D team. This position combines technical ownership and strategic direction, guiding the research, development, and deployment of machine learning models for real-time speech enhancement.


Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design, training, and optimisation of ML models for speech separation and noise reduction.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a small, high-performing engineering team.
  • Bridge research and production — ensuring scalable, low-latency model deployment.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with software and product teams to integrate ML systems into live products.
  • Contribute to the company’s long-term AI strategy and technical roadmap.


Requirements:

  • MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Signal Processing.
  • Proven experience in leading or mentoring ML/AI engineering teams.
  • Deep understanding of digital signal processing and speech/audio modelling.
  • Proficiency with Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and modern ML frameworks.
  • Track record of delivering production-grade ML systems with measurable performance improvements.
  • Experience with low-latency inference and model optimisation (ONNX, TensorRT, quantisation) is highly desirable.


This is an opportunity to take ownership of the machine learning function within a growing AI company, driving innovation in real-time communication and audio intelligence.


If you fit the requirements and are interested in this opportunity, then apply now! Otherwise, if you're interested in any other AI/ML and Computer Vision roles, then reach out to Oscar Harper at IC Resources.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
