Machine Learning Engineer, Apple Intelligence

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values
that lead to great work. Every new product we build or service we create, we
deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens
because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and
share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of
our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through
everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our
lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Product
Engineering International, part of the esteemed Software Engineering
Organization, is seeking an accomplished ML Researcher to spearhead the
development of cutting-edge generative modeling pipelines for a diverse range of
popular international languages.
