GRADUATE ML DEPLOYMENT ENGINEER

ABOUT US:

We’re an AI-focused startup, led by experienced entrepreneurs and supported by leading investors. We are building brain-inspired, intelligent systems to maximally exploit the functionality and performance of compute devices in smart manufacturing applications. Our trademarked technology continuously learns new use cases from unlabelled data using only a few reference examples.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join the company, as we scale across multiple customers and industry domains from automotive, aerospace, defence to heavy industries.

We are based in central Manchester. We offer competitive salaries and benefits.

ROLE

We are seeking a Graduate ML Deployment Engineer to join our machine learning and deployment team. This is a deployment-focused machine learning role, working closely with our data, engineering and customer teams to take machine learning models from development into production systems running 24×7.

The role will involve:

• Training and retraining machine learning models using real-world production data.
• Training machine learning models to help setup new inspection lines.
• Evaluating model performance using appropriate ML metrics and production data.
• Analysing model failures and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Working with the data team to understand data quality, distribution shifts, difficult cases and model failure modes.
• Translating findings from production data into improvements to models, training data and evaluation processes.
• Preparing ML models for production deployment and working with engineering teams to integrate them into production systems.
• Optimising models for inference performance, reliability and deployment constraints.
• Monitoring model performance following deployment and supporting continuous improvement.
• Working across ML development, data operations and deployment to ensure models perform reliably in real-world manufacturing environments.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys practical machine learning, solving problems with real-world data, and understanding the complete journey from model training to production deployment.

WHAT DO WE OFFER:

• Market competitive compensation package
• Company pension
• Hybrid friendly work environment
• Growth opportunity at an early-stage startup

ESSENTIAL:

• Vision machine learning experience
• Ability to train (and retrain) custom ML models from real world data
