Entry Level Machine Learning Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level machine learning engineer job?
Build a portfolio of projects that demonstrate core skills: training and evaluating models, working with real datasets, and writing clean Python code. Employers at this level look for familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow, foundational knowledge of statistics and linear algebra, and evidence you can ship something, whether that comes from coursework, a capstone project, a Kaggle competition, or an internship.
Which companies hire entry level machine learning engineers?
Companies hiring entry level machine learning engineers right now include TikTok, Apple, and Pinterest, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. At this level, hiring covers large technology firms with structured new-grad programs, fast-growing AI startups, and enterprise companies building out their first ML teams.
Are there remote entry level machine learning engineer jobs?
Yes, though fully remote roles at the entry level are less common than for senior positions. About 22% of entry level machine learning engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, so candidates who need location flexibility still have meaningful options while many employers prefer on-site for new engineers early in their career.
Are these new grad machine learning engineer jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior machine learning engineer roles. A posting is typically new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience and accepts internships, academic projects, or a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history. Look for language like "entry level", "new grad", or "junior" in the job description as a reliable signal.
Which industries hire the most entry level machine learning engineers?
Entry Level machine learning engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Artificial Intelligence, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they are actively building ML infrastructure, have the data volume to support model development, and run new-grad or rotational programs designed to develop junior engineers quickly.
