Full Job Description
Generative AI Applied Scientist, SIML - ISE

Summary

Apple's System Intelligence and Machine Learning (SIML) team is seeking a senior Generative AI expert to pioneer the next generation of human-centric device interaction and multimodal scene understanding. You will be at the core of our efforts to develop multimodal LLMs that can perceive and understand complex scenes and nuanced human interactions, behaviors, and preferences. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading applied research group known for its foundational contributions to Apple Intelligence, where you will focus on the end-to-end lifecycle of generative models-from novel architecture design and large-scale training to final deployment.

Responsibilities

Design, train, and deploy large-scale multimodal LLMs, owning the entire lifecycle from initial architecture to final deployment within the constraints

Implement and demonstrate novel, human-centric user experiences by applying the capabilities of large foundation models

Create robust, scalable ML models and APIs that can be well-integrated into Apple's production pipelines and training infrastructure

Work closely with partner teams to build, iterate, and adapt innovative solutions in a dynamic, product-focused environment

Description

Description

We are looking for a senior applied scientist with strong ML and Generative modeling skills who can design, train, and deploy multimodal GenAI technology. You will need to learn quickly and implement and demonstrate new user experiences using large foundation models. You will build novel and innovative technology, forge collaborations with cross-functional partners, and adapt and iterate your solutions in a dynamic environment. You will be expected to advance human interaction and scene understanding modeling across various fronts, from a system level to a core ML algorithm level. Some of the myriad challenges include understanding user behavior and preferences from interactions with the device and the environment, retrieving useful and nuanced information based on past interactions, handling deeply interleaved streaming inputs, reasoning over varying temporal contexts, developing memory systems to enable long-term adaptation, and generating semantically rich internal representations to enable open-ended downstream tasks. You will be responsible for delivering ML models and solutions that can readily be adopted in production pipelines, such as APIs for production-ready ML models and algorithms well-integrated into our training infrastructure.

About Apple

Apple is a corporation that designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, portable digital music players, and sells a variety of related software, services, peripherals, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications. Apple provides many products and services, including iPhone; iPad; iPod; Mac; Apple TV; a portfolio of consumer and professional software applications; the iOS and OS X operating systems; iCloud; and accessories, service, and support offerings. It sells its products worldwide through its retail stores, online stores, direct sales force and third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, retailers, and value-added resellers to the consumer and also sells third-party iPhone, iPad, Mac and iPod compatible products, including application software and accessories through its online and retail stores. Introduced in 1984, the Macintosh was the first widely sold personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI). That feature and others such as an improved floppy drive design and a low-cost hard drive that made data retrieval faster helped Apple cultivate a reputation for innovation. Apple was named as the most admired company in the United States in 2008 and in the world from 2008 to 2012 by the Fortune magazine. The company was founded by Steven Paul Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Gerald Wayne on April 1, 1976, and is headquartered in Cupertino, California.
