Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Metropolitan University Full time

Based at: Pumpflow, Manchester

The role:
An exciting opportunity has become available for a graduate to work full-time 18-month Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) data scientist/machine learning engineer position in a project to develop a machine learning based solution, combined with timeseries and signal processing techniques, to forecasting dynamic characteristics of centrifugal pumps in large-scale industrial settings. The goal is to use machine learning models to support control systems for more sustainable and cost/resource-efficient operation of the equipment. The project is a spin-off of a short-term Greater Manchester AI Foundry Technical Assist Project. It is likely to have a measurable impact in sustainability and to include some key and well-established stakeholders (e.g., UK's Environmental Agency).

Employed and supported by an academic team from the University, you will be based at Pumpflow's premises in Manchester. The post is primarily based at Pumpflow's sites, but with possibility of flexible work arrangements.

  • Ability to lead a technical project by working both independently and collaboratively, with good decision making and workload/time management skills.
