Senior Machine Learning Engineer

About us Re-architecting Engineering for the Age of Intelligence PhysicsX is the physics AI company for industrials. The company’s mission is to accelerate hardware innovation by overhauling what industrial engineering and manufacturing look like today. PhysicsX is building a new simulation software stack to deliver deep physics AI enablement across the entire engineering lifecycle. The company partners with leading organisations in aerospace & defence, automotive, semiconductors, materials, and energy & renewables, supporting them on some of their most critical and complex challenges. PhysicsX is headquartered in the United Kingdom, with offices in London, New York, and Singapore and an expanding presence in the Bay Area. Note: We are currently recruiting for multiple positions, however please only apply for the role that best aligns with your skillset and career goals. Who We're Looking For As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in Delivery, you are an experienced problem solver and technical leader who stays anchored to impact. You are someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, lead technical initiatives, and excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to embed cutting-edge AI models into tools that are useful and used. You’ve shipped ML systems end-to-end and at scale: you design, build and test reliable, scalable ML data pipelines; you know how to explore and manipulate 3D point-cloud and mesh data to enable geometry-aware modelling; you select the right libraries, frameworks and tools and make pragmatic product decisions that set Delivery up for success. Working at the intersection of data science and software engineering, you translate R&D and project outputs into reusable libraries, tooling and products. With at least 3 years industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you're ready to not only execute but also lead and mentor others. You're truly excited about taking ownership of complex work streams and guiding teams to success, while continuously improving the systems and solutions you work on to ensure they are practical, impactful and meet the evolving needs of our customers. This Role As a Senior MLE, you'll work closely with our Data Scientists, Simulation Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving. You will iterate with customers and use your influence to drive decisions around reliable deployment with measurable outcomes. You'll: • Own the deployment of ML models and engineering surrogates (e.g., deep learning on CAE/CFD/FEA data, time‑series forecasting, anomaly detection, optimization & control) to customer production environments. • Communicate results and trade‑offs to senior stakeholders; steer roadmaps and influence product direction with evidence. • Lead scoping and architecture design for data/ML systems; define success metrics, delivery plans and quality bars. • Excel at building robust and scalable ML systems, training and inference pipelines and APIs, running both on cloud and on-prem environments. The tech stack you will use for this includes: Python, PyTorch, Pandas, fastAPI, Scipy, Kubeflow, among others. • Mentor and develop engineers and data scientists; provide technical direction and clear, calm decision‑making under pressure. • Travel to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, for an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter , where you'll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on-site. • Own the scoping of new projects and work-streams with existing customers and taking part in bringing new customers to PhysicsX. As a senior member of the team, you’ll significantly influence our te
