Machine Learning Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have a PhD with 3+ years or a Master's with 5+ years of relevant experience in machine learning or a related field — you understand the intricacies of AI and have a strong foundation in both research and practical applications. Your expertise includes working with modern model architectures, particularly in conversational and generative AI systems, and you are comfortable translating complex ideas into scalable solutions.

You possess a deep understanding of machine learning frameworks and tools, particularly TensorFlow and Keras — you've designed, prototyped, and deployed ML-driven features that enhance user experiences. Your experience with natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision allows you to contribute to foundational capabilities that power conversational understanding and personalization.

You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with researchers, product managers, and designers — you know how to align on problem definitions and iterate on solutions effectively. Your ability to balance experimentation with execution means you can move quickly when exploring new ideas while maintaining rigor when transitioning work into production.

What you'll do

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Apple, you will design, prototype, and deploy machine learning features that enhance conversational and generative experiences for Apple's Vision devices. You will work hands-on with large language models and multimodal systems, integrating them into production frameworks used at scale. Your role will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure that the features you develop meet Apple's high standards for reliability and user satisfaction.

You will contribute to foundational capabilities that power conversational understanding and embodied interactions — your work will directly impact how users engage with Apple's technology. You will be responsible for rapidly iterating on new ideas and translating them into scalable systems, ensuring that they are both innovative and practical.

What we offer

Apple provides a dynamic work environment where you can contribute to cutting-edge technology that transforms user experiences. You will have the opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — your curiosity and willingness to learn are just as important as your technical skills.
