Machine Learning Engineer, Industrial Operations

About Us

Manufacturing is one of the biggest, hardest and most important systems in the world, but many factories still make critical operational decisions with fragmented data and limited intelligence. EntroMetrix is changing that by building physics-informed AI that helps industrial teams run more efficient, resilient and sustainable operations.

We are a small team founded by engineers from Cambridge and Imperial, working on a problem where better software can have a real-world impact on energy, materials and production. If you want to build serious technology, work close to real industrial customers and have a direct hand in shaping an early company, EntroMetrix is the place to do it. We are hiring across a number of roles. If you're a fit, apply.

Role

We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help build frontier models that understand and improve complex operational systems.

The work sits at the intersection of scientific machine learning, time-series modelling, optimisation and real-world deployment. You will work closely with the founding team, customer sites and industrial data to turn early technical validation into a scalable product. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will not just train models in isolation. You will build systems that work with messy data, operational constraints and real-world environments.

What you will do

  • Design, train and deploy machine learning models for complex operational systems.
  • Work with sparse, noisy and irregular time-series data from real-world environments.
  • Build models that combine data-driven learning with physical and operational constraints.
  • Develop reusable modelling components that can scale across different sites and use cases.
  • Work with the product and engineering team to move models from prototype to production.
  • Evaluate model performance, reliability and robustness in applied settings.
  • Spend time with customers to understand the operational context behind the data.
  • Contribute to the technical direction of the platform as one of the first ML hires.
What we are looking for
  • A degree in machine learning, computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, applied mathematics, operations research or a closely related STEM field from a world-leading university (PhD-level).
  • Strong practical experience building machine learning models in Python, ideally using PyTorch, JAX or similar frameworks.
  • Experience with one or more of scientific machine learning, physics-informed ML, time-series modelling, optimisation, simulation, forecasting or probabilistic modelling.
  • Comfort working with messy real-world data, including missing values, drift, noise and inconsistent data quality.
  • Interest in applying machine learning to physical systems, industrial operations and real-world optimisation problems.
  • Willingness to work in person from our London office, typically 4 to 5 days per week, with occasional travel to customer sites in the UK.
Nice to have
  • Experience deploying ML models into production.
  • Experience with optimisation, simulation, control systems or operations research.
  • Exposure to industrial or operational data environments.
  • Experience with Bayesian approaches, multi-fidelity data streams, symbolic regression, glass-box modelling or reinforcement learning.
  • Publications or research experience in scientific ML, machine learning for physical systems or applied optimisation.
Why join us
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Ownership of a critical technical layer at an early-stage company.
  • The chance to build frontier AI models that help define how factories are run over the next decade.
  • Work directly with manufacturers across sectors, from large enterprises to SMEs, and see your models deployed in real operations to help decarbonise industry and improve operational resilience.
  • A small, technical founding team with high ownership, honest feedback and no theatre.
  • Unlimited coffee
To apply Send your CV, a short note on a technical project you are proud of, and a few lines on why you are interested in applying machine learning to real-world systems.

These are in-person roles based in London. We are currently unable to offer visa sponsorship, applicants must already have the right to work in the UK. We read every application, but the volume means we cannot always reply individually. If you have not heard back within

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?

With this question, companies are looking to see what equipment they may need to provide you with and to verify how aware you are of what remote working could mean for you physically and logistically...

5. HOW DO YOU PROCESS INFORMATION?

Several years ago, I was working in a team to plan a big event. My supervisor made us all work as a team before the big day. One of our activities has been to find out how each of us processes information...

6. HOW DO YOU MANAGE THE CALENDAR AND THE PROGRAM? WHICH APPLICATIONS / SYSTEM DO YOU USE?

Or you may receive even more specific questions, such as: What's on your calendar? Do you plan blocks of time to do certain types of work? Do you have an open calendar that everyone can see?...

7. HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE FILES, LINKS, AND TABS ON YOUR COMPUTER?

Just like your schedule, how you track files and other information is very important. After all, everything is digital!...

8. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WORK?

The day I watched Marie Forleo's film separating the important from the urgent, my life changed. Not all remote jobs start fast, but most of them are...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...

10. HOW DO YOU USE TECHNOLOGY ON A DAILY BASIS, IN YOUR WORK AND FOR YOUR PLEASURE?

This is a great question because it shows your comfort level with technology, which is very important for a remote worker because you will be working with technology over time...
