Machine Learning Engineer
Imperial College AI & Robotics Spinout
Location: London (x4 days in per week)
Salary: £90K + Bonus + Benefits + Meaningul Equity
The Business
This is a pre-Series A, seed-backed AI company working at the cutting edge of robotics. It was spun out of Imperial College London by a group of top PhD engineers, and in under two years it has raised £5m and won paying customers across aerospace, defence and medical devices.
The platform takes data from many different sensors on industrial machines and turns it into real-time insights that help manufacturers produce safety-critical parts with confidence. The team is currently circa 10 people and growing.
The Position:
You'll take large, complex AI models out of research and into production, making them fast, reliable and easy to maintain. The models you deploy will run in real customer environments, often with limited computing power, so smart engineering really matters here. You'll work closely with the software team and have a big say in how the ML stack is built.
What You'll Work On
- Data and inference pipelines: Build and deploy pipelines that handle many types of data, including images, time-series and point clouds.
- Deploying complex models: Find new ways to get large, demanding models running well in production, even where standard tools fall short.
- Performance at the edge: Partner with the software engineers to solve tricky deployment problems on hardware with tight resource limits.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
