Overview
Machine learning engineers act as critical members of the data science team. Their tasks involve researching, building, and designing the artificial intelligence responsible for machine learning and maintaining and improving existing artificial intelligence systems.
Often, a machine learning engineer will also serve as a critical communicator between other data science team members, working directly with the data scientists who develop the models for building AI systems and the people who construct and run them.
While job responsibilities for machine learning engineers will differ, they often include:
Implementing machine learning algorithms
Running AI systems experiments and tests
Designing and developing machine learning systems
Performing statistical analyses.
