About us

PhysicsX is a deep-tech company with roots in numerical physics and Formula One, dedicated to accelerating hardware innovation at the speed of software.


We are building an AI-driven simulation software stack for engineering and manufacturing across advanced industries. By enabling high-fidelity, multi-physics simulation through AI inference across the entire engineering lifecycle, PhysicsX unlocks new levels of optimization and automation in design, manufacturing, and operations - empowering engineers to push the boundaries of possibility. Our customers include leading innovators in Aerospace & Defense, Materials, Energy, Semiconductors, and Automotive.


Note: We are currently recruiting for multiple positions, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals.


Who We're Looking For

As a Machine Learning Engineer in Delivery, you are a problem solver and builder who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to build, deploy and maintain production-grade ML tools that are useful, and used.


You design, build, and test reliable, scalable machine learning pipelines, and you know when to explore and manipulate 3D point-cloud and mesh data to enable geometry-aware modelling. You create analytics environments and resources in the cloud/on-prem that span data science, selecting the right libraries, frameworks and tools while making pragmatic product decisions that set delivery up for success. You thrive at the intersection of data science and software engineering, translating project outputs into tooling and products.


With at least 1 year industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you're ready to hit the ground running. You're truly excited about growing your technical expertise and are naturally inclined to take ownership of MLE pipelines, continuously improving the systems and solutions you work on to ensure they are practical, impactful and meet the evolving customer needs.


This Role

In this role, you'll work closely with our customers, as well as our team of Simulation Engineers, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers, to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving.


You'll build the foundations for successful, impactful solutions by:



  • Designing, building and testing data/ML pipelines that are reliable, scalable and easily deployable in production environments.
  • Productionising ML models and surrogates with clear validation, error analysis.
  • Exploring and manipulating 3D point-cloud and mesh data, applying graph/geometry-aware techniques where appropriate.
  • Working closely with simulation engineers to ensure seamless integration of data science models with simulations.
  • Engaging in open communication and presentation with both technical teams and customers, helping onboard users and co-develop with customers.
  • Traveling to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, an average of 2-3 weeks per quarter, where you'll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on site.

As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as a technical lead, perfect for someone who is driven by taking ownership of more complex projects and leading the direction of future solutions.


Our delivery teams drive innovation to turn AI models into practical solutions - read our blog to learn more about how you'll contribute to this exciting journey!


What we offer

  • Equity options - share in our success and growth.
  • 10% employer pension contribution - invest in your future.
  • Free office lunches - great food to fuel your workdays.
  • Flexible working - balance your work and life in a way that works for you.
  • Hybrid setup - enjoy our new Shoreditch office while keeping remote flexibility.
  • Enhanced parental leave - support for life's biggest milestones.
  • Private healthcare - comprehensive coverage
  • Personal development - access learning and training to help you grow.
  • Work from anywhere - extend your remote setup to enjoy the sun or reconnect with loved ones.

We value diversity and are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, sexual orientation or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. To help make a change, we sponsor bright women from disadvantaged backgrounds through their university degrees in science and mathematics.


We collect diversity and inclusion data solely for the purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of our equal opportunities policies and ensuring compliance with UK employment and equality legislation. This information is confidential, used only in aggregate form, and will not influence the outcome of your application.

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.
