About the role
We file this job under ML Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
ML engineers put machine learning models into products. They write the code that trains, ships, serves and monitors models so a recommendation or prediction works for real users.
Postings ask for strong Python and software engineering, a framework such as PyTorch, cloud services, and more and more often experience with large language models.
A data scientist often works out which model to build; an ML engineer makes it run reliably in production.

Are you passionate about designing the world's most advanced silicon? Do you want to write software that helps create the next generation of processors and enable the next remarkable Apple innovation? If so, we invite you to consider joining our team at Apple.
We seek an engineer with a passion for hardware and strong programming and collaboration skills. You will gain hands-on experience in applying machine learning to circuit design automation and the reuse of custom intellectual property (IP). You will develop innovative pipelines to enable design engineers to efficiently drive and interact with their transistor-level analysis workflows, delivering diverse IPs to our numerous cutting-edge integrated circuits (ICs) in development.
In this role, you will acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge spanning various disciplines and stages of silicon IP development, including applications in machine learning (ML) and large language model (LLM) technologies. These LLM applications encompass tasks such as information retrieval, triage, and chatbot development, alongside traditional silicon design areas such as transistor-level extraction, timing analysis, static/dynamic IR analysis, simulations, power EM analysis, signal EM analysis, logic equivalency checks (LEC), and signoff.
The successful candidate will thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and demonstrate a hands-on, enthusiastic, and self-motivated approach. They will possess a strong drive to succeed in challenging settings and be eager to tackle challenges with innovative solutions. If you are passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences and paying meticulous attention to detail, this role may be the perfect fit for you. As a member of our team, your contributions will directly impact the experiences of millions of Apple customers by delivering state-of-the-art processors to the diverse range of Apple products.
