What is the difference between Temporary Machine Learning Engineer vs Data Scientist?

AspectTemporary Machine Learning EngineerData Scientist
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in CS, Data Science, or related fields; experience with ML frameworksBachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Data Science, or related fields; strong analytical skills
Work EnvironmentProject-based, often contract roles in tech or finance companiesResearch and analysis-focused, in tech, finance, or healthcare sectors
Employer UsageUsed for short-term ML projects, model deployment, or prototypingUsed for data analysis, insights, and predictive modeling

Temporary Machine Learning Engineers focus on implementing and deploying ML models on a short-term basis, often within project deadlines. Data Scientists analyze data to generate insights and develop models but may have a broader scope. Both roles require strong technical skills, but their primary functions differ in scope and application.

Job description

Hardware Machine Learning Engineer

Chicago, United States; New York, United States

We are deploying machine learning directly onto custom hardware โ€“ and we want you to help drive it from the ground up. This is an initiative where you'll have the rare opportunity to architect solutions from scratch, influence technical research direction, and see your work drive real impact in one of the most demanding computing environments in the world.

We build the hardware, the software, and the infrastructure, so when you hit a bottleneck, you can fix it - there's no vendor to wait on and no abstraction layer you're not allowed to touch. If you've ever wanted to push the boundaries of what's computationally possible, this role is for you. We're looking for researchers and experienced engineers from any background. Trading experience is a bonus, not a prerequisite.

Your Core Responsibilities
  • Architect and co-design ML models with traders, quant researchers, and software engineers, treating hardware constraints (latency budgets, resource limits, numerical precision) as first-class design inputs
  • Shape our custom hardware roadmap by translating ML model requirements into concrete architectural decisions
  • Work hands-on with hardware engineers to implement, verify, and deploy ML inference solutions from proof-of-concept through production
  • Track and evaluate emerging research in neural architecture search, machine learning systems and quantization methods, and determine what translates to measurable improvements in our systems
Your Skills and Experience
  • Solid understanding of hardware constraints and design trade-offs (e.g., pipelining, resource utilization, fixed-point arithmetic) that shape how ML models can be efficiently mapped onto FPGAs or custom ASICs
  • Experience with hardware fundamentals, whether through VHDL /SystemVerilog development, HLS tools, or ML-to-hardware frameworks like hls4ml, FINN, or Vitis AI
  • Understanding of machine learning fundamentals โ€“ neural network architectures, inference optimization, quantization techniques, ML frameworks such as PyTorch/TensorFlow
  • Proficiency in Python, C++, or similar languages for tooling, testing, and simulation
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across disciplines with both technical and non-technical teams
Nice to Have
  • Exposure to ML compiler infrastructure such as MLIR, TVM, XLA, or similar tools for lowering and optimizing models for hardware targets
  • Background in latency-sensitive or resource-constrained systems including high-frequency trading, particle physics data acquisition, real-time signal processing, or similar domains
  • Familiarity with functional verification methodologies (for example SystemVerilog, UVM, Cocotb)
  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD ) in EE, CS, Physics, or related field, or equivalent depth through industry or research experience

The Base Salary range for the role is included below. Base salary is only one component of total compensation; all full-time, permanent positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including paid leave and insurance.
