Large Language Model Machine Learning Engineer

The VCV-Science Model Optimization and Algorithms Development team brings innovative AI research into Apple products.

Description

We are looking for a strong ML applied scientist and engineer to build groundbreaking AI infrastructures to power the infrastructures that Apple in-house ML experts use every day to optimize models shipped on devices and servers for Apple Intelligence. We are part of a collaborative group of software developers and deep learning authorities working in the area of neural network optimization, on-device inference, and model evaluation. You will work with world-class talents in visualization, LLM training, on-device optimization, and ML tools/platforms. You will develop reliable and scalable web services for ML developers: e.g., model optimization pipeline, effective ML dev workflow, infrastructure to serve internal service.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience developing/optimizing/training large language models (LLMs), or large computer vision models, or generative AI models.
• Software engineering skills in Python and general purpose system admin and infrastructure management abilities.
• History of applied research in neural network model life cycle or training or a related area application.
• Track record to drive scientific investigations and experiments and overcome obstacles and uncertainty in a research environment.
• BS degree and 3+ years of proven experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Publication record at top AI/ML venues.
• Experience with LLM LoRA fine-tuning, neural network optimization (e.g. quantization and compression).
• Experience with on-device/server scale deployment.
• Experience with languages like C/C++.
• Infrastructure management and debugging experience.
• Experimental rigor when training/evaluating LLMs for the purpose of benchmarking LLM optimization algorithms.
• Strong communication and accountability skills; hard-working, strong work ethic, and collaboration abilities.
