I am working with an established R&D group who are expanding their AI research team and seeking a Senior Machine Learning Research Engineer with strong expertise in speech, audio, and generative AI. This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research that will be deployed across large-scale consumer products, working end-to-end from concept development through to production.

The team is building next-generation machine learning systems for audio understanding, speech processing, and on-device intelligence. You will work on high-impact research projects while collaborating closely with experienced ML engineers and scientists.

The role

As a Senior ML Research Engineer, You Will

  • Research, design, and develop novel algorithms for speech, audio and generative AI
  • Build and optimise ML models for real-world deployment, including mobile or embedded environments
  • Lead technically significant components of complex research projects.
  • Deliver clean, well-structured and well-documented code following modern software engineering practices
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, providing technical leadership and guidance when required
  • Identify challenges proactively and drive solutions from prototype through to production
  • Contribute to internal tooling, infrastructure, and scalable training/evaluation pipelines

Required Skills

  • MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Signal Processing, Engineering, Mathematics, or similar
  • Strong professional experience in Python for ML development (C++/Java/Kotlin beneficial but not essential)
  • Deep understanding of machine learning and deep learning fundamentals (architectures, optimisation, evaluation)
  • Solid track record in speech/audio processing, e.g. ASR, TTS, speech enhancement, audio analysis, NLP-audio interfaces, etc
  • Experience with PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: Git, CI/CD, testing, code quality, agile workflows
  • Ability to take research concepts through to production-ready implementations
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Desirable Skills

  • Experience with Generative AI applied to audio or speech (diffusion, autoregressive models, speech synthesis, voice conversion etc.)
  • Publications in relevant ML/AI/Signal Processing conferences or journals
  • Experience with open-source toolkits such as SpeechBrain, ESPnet, Hugging Face, NeMo, Kaldi
  • Experience deploying ML models to mobile platforms
  • Knowledge of large-scale or distributed training pipelines
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP or Azure)

If you’re interested in this position and have the relevant experience, then apply now! Otherwise, if you’re interested in any other positions within AI/ML and Computer Vision, then reach out to Oscar Harper at IC Resources.

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

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
