Machine Learning Engineer - AI for Advanced Materials - Oxford / Remote (UK)


(Tech stack: Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, MLflow, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, GCP, Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, CI/CD, MLOps, Data Visualization, Bayesian Modelling, Probabilistic Programming, Terraform)


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.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

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.
