Cupertino,California,United States

Machine Learning and AI

As part of Apple's AI and Machine Learning org, we encourage and create groundbreaking technology for large-scale ML systems, computer vision, natural language processing, and multi-modal understanding. The Data and Machine Learning Innovation (DMLI) team is looking for a passionate Machine Learning Engineer to explore new methods, challenge existing metrics or protocols, and develop new insightful practices that will change how we understand data and overcome real-world ML challenges. Are you excited to work on some of the most ambitious technical challenges in the field? Your role will involve collaborating closely with machine learning researchers, engineers, and data scientists. Together, we will spearhead groundbreaking research initiatives and develop transformative products designed to build a significant impact for billions of users worldwide.

Description

As a Machine Learning (ML) Engineer, you will be entrusted with the critical role of innovating and applying innovative research in ML to tackle complex data problems. The solutions you develop will significantly impact future Apple products and the broader ML development ecosystem. You will work with a multidisciplinary team to actively participate in the data-model co-design and co-development practice. Your responsibilities will extend to the design and development of a comprehensive data curation framework.
