Job description

Join the SoC Architecture team building ML and generative AI systems that shape how future Apple silicon is architected and tuned. We're looking for an AI/ML Engineer who can turn complex hardware data into architectural insight. You will apply that expertise to studying and improving the performance and power behavior of modern System-on-Chip designs across the full product lifecycle: ML-driven research to identify what should change in hardware or software, hands-on partnership with silicon and OS teams to implement and bring those changes up on real silicon, and seeing them through to ship. This role is ideal for a hands-on ML engineer who is energized by both research and shipping product, and who thrives at the intersection of large-scale data, system architecture, and ML. Minimum Qualifications: B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Applied ML industry experience deploying complex ML systems in production. Experience applying modern ML techniques to large real-world datasets. Programming experience in Python and experience in modern deep learning frameworks. Preferred Qualifications: Working knowledge of SoC compute, memory, and power-management subsystems, how real workloads exercise them, and the C/C++ modeling infrastructure typical of SoC environments. Depth in time-series analysis, including feature engineering on streaming telemetry. Experience applying ML beyond prediction, including driving decisions, optimizing policies, and efficiently searching large configuration spaces. Track record of training large-scale models across distributed clusters. Experience building stateful, multi-turn agentic frameworks and complex execution flows. M.S. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field and 10+ years of relevant experience. Track record of moving quickly from hypothesis to result and iterating based on evidence. Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across technical disciplines.
