Machine Learning Specialist (Computer Vision)

Safe Intelligence is on a mission to make AI safe and reliable for anyone to use. In this role, you’ll play a leading role in helping customers with their ML validation challenges and in helping drive our product forward with insights on how to build the best validation solutions for high‑stakes machine vision problems.


Key Focus

  • ML‑based computer vision in high‑stakes applications in Aviation, Mobility, Robotics, and Edge Devices.
  • Object detection and tracking.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with customers and end‑users to understand their machine vision models and help them assess performance.
  • Implement prototypes, use cases, and solutions that apply the methods and tools developed at Safe Intelligence to address user‑specific problems in deep validation and robustness.
  • Conduct experiments to evaluate various approaches and weigh their respective trade‑offs.
  • Coordinate with the research and platform teams to guide future development based on use‑case specific challenges.
  • Contribute to the development of an efficient and scalable package for performing verification and robust learning.

Qualifications

  • Previous scientific and engineering contributions to key problems in machine vision, such as object detection or tracking, typically evidenced via first‑author papers in top computer vision conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV.
  • In‑depth experience in training, evaluating and deploying state‑of‑the‑art machine vision models, including standard architectures such as YOLO, Vision Transformer architectures, and EVA.
  • Experience talking to stakeholders in these models to understand their requirements and guiding them through what is and is not possible or desirable in a model.
  • Familiarity with Python and the packages widely used in data science and machine learning. Developers should be familiar with libraries like NumPy, pandas, scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
  • Familiarity with best practice in machine learning workflows and MLOps tools.
  • Fluency in validation and evaluation framework and metrics frameworks for machine learning such as Accuracy, Recall, F1, Intersection over Union, and others.
  • Experience in the Aviation, Mobility, Edge Devices, and/or Robotics industries.
  • Experience on industrial real‑world deployment of machine learning solutions.

Personal Attributes

  • Passionate about helping engineering teams achieve their AI and ML goals.
  • Comfortable and energized in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Excited about interacting with others and digging in to help solve their problems collaboratively.
  • Technical and constantly in a state of learning.
  • Able to communicate clearly and efficiently with a variety of audiences including developers, customers, researchers, partners and executives.
  • Fearless in getting “hands‑on” with technology and execution.
  • Knowledgeable about modern software engineering processes.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity with a drive for clarity.
  • Collaborative with, and respectful of others on the team.
  • Honest, straightforward and caring about each other’s well‑being.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in AI Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The AI industry moves quickly, breaks rules & rewards people who see the world differently. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a career in artificial intelligence, you might have been told your brain is “too much”, “too scattered” or “too different” for a technical field. In reality, many of the strengths that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia map beautifully onto AI work – from spotting patterns in data to creative problem-solving & deep focus. This guide is written for AI job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in an AI context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths match specific AI roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of where you might thrive in AI – & how to set yourself up for success.
