The On-Device Machine Learning team at Apple is responsible for enabling the Research to Production lifecycle of cutting edge machine learning models that power magical user experiences on Apple’s hardware and software platforms. Apple is the best place to do on-device machine learning, and this team sits at the heart of that discipline, interfacing with research, SW engineering, HW engineering, and products. The team builds critical infrastructure that begins with onboarding the latest machine learning architectures to embedded devices, optimization toolkits to optimize these models to better suit the target devices, machine learning compilers and runtimes to execute these models as efficiently as possible, and the benchmarking, analysis and debugging toolchain needed to improve on new model iterations. This infrastructure underpins most of Apple’s critical machine learning workflows across Camera, Siri, Health, Vision, etc., and as such is an integral part of Apple Intelligence. Our group is looking for an ML Infrastructure Engineer, with a focus on ML user experience APIs and Integration. The role is responsible for developing new ML model conversion & authoring APIs that will be a part of coremltools (CoreML’s authoring/conversion toolkit). The role is also responsible for integrating the APIs into internal and external systems (e.g., HuggingFace) to demonstrate the most efficient way of ingesting models into CoreML from these systems. This integration could involve a gamut of optimizations ranging from authored program optimizations (e.g., in PyTorch), to custom optimizations on CoreML’s model representation.
