Description

AI Research Engineer (Medical Imaging) – On-site (Manchester, UK) Full-time | On-site 5 days | Competitive salary + progression We're partnered with a fast-growing UK med-tech group building AI that's used in real clinical workflows. The team is in an R&D build phase and now needs 1–2 AI Research Engineers who can take work beyond the research stage - turning models into reproducible, reliable, production-ready systems. This is not a "paper-only" role. You'll work with a small, high-output team and ship applied ML into a product. What you'll do Build and iterate deep learning models for medical imaging (segmentation / classification / detection). Own the "after research" phase: turn experiments into clean, reproducible, testable code. Design robust evaluation (data splits, leakage prevention, metrics) and improve model performance. Work with real-world clinical datasets (messy, evolving) and implement privacy-safe data handling. Package models for inference (e.g., TorchScript / ONNX) and collaborate with engineers on serving (HTTP/gRPC). Contribute to tooling that makes the team faster: experiment tracking, dataset/version control, model registry. What we're looking for (must-haves) Strong hands-on PyTorch (training loops, debugging, optimisation). Solid applied computer vision experience (segmentation/classification/detection). Evidence you can take models from notebook → production-minded implementation: reproducibility, structured codebases, evaluation discipline, versioning. Comfort working on-site with a fast-moving team (high ownership, high pace). Nice-to-haves (big plus) Medical imaging experience (DICOM, CT/MRI/CBCT, volumetric/3D). MONAI / nnU-Net / 3D U-Net experience. Inference optimisation (batching, quantisation, latency awareness). Familiarity with Docker + basic deployment concepts (APIs, gRPC, monitoring). Annotation/clinical tooling exposure (3D Slicer, ITK-SNAP). What you'll get High ownership in an R&D team building real clinical AI (not "research theatre"). Fast progression and direct access to technical leadership. A team environment that values execution, speed, and impact.
