AIML - Machine Learning Researcher, Foundation Models

Summary

We are a group of engineers and researchers responsible for building foundation models at Apple. We build infrastructure, datasets, and models with fundamental general capabilities such as understanding and generation of text, images, speech, videos, and other modalities and apply these models to Apple products.

We’re looking for passionate researchers to work on ambitious curiosity driven long-term research projects that will impact the future of Apple, and our products. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work on innovative foundational research in machine learning. As a member of the team, you will be inspired by a diversity of challenging problems, collaborate with world-class machine learning engineers and researchers to impact the future of Apple products, and publish some of your results in high-quality scientific venues.

Description

You have a strong research background in machine learning or related fields, and regularly publish your results in the main relevant conference and journal venues, and make sure that your research results are of high quality and reproducible. You will propose your own research plan to advance our understanding of machine learning and execute it through implementation and experimentation, in collaboration with your colleagues. You will provide technical mentorship and guidance, and prepare technical reports for publication and conference talks. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with broader teams across Apple.

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated expertise in machine learning research
• Publication record in relevant conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACL, EMNLP, etc)
• Hands-on experience working with deep learning toolkits such as Tensorflow or PyTorch
• Strong mathematical skills in linear algebra and statistics

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to formulate a research problem, design, experiment, implement and communicate solutions
• Ability to work in a diverse collaborative environment
• PhD, or equivalent practical experience, in Computer Science, or related technical field
