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.

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.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)
