The System Intelligence and Machine Learning (SIML) team at Apple is seeking a senior Generative AI expert to advance human-centric device interaction and multimodal scene understanding. This role involves developing multimodal large language models (LLMs) that understand complex scenes and human interactions. The position focuses on the end-to-end lifecycle of generative models, from architecture design to deployment. The ideal candidate will collaborate with cross-functional teams to create innovative technology in a dynamic environment.

• PhD or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with a focus on machine learning, or equivalent experience.
• Strong research skills with first author publications in top tier ML conferences.
• Expert-level knowledge of state-of-the-art in large auto-regressive transformer models, multi-modal encoders, and representation learning.
• Experience with multimodal large language models (LLMs).
• Strong programming skills in Python, maintaining ML code bases grounded in software engineering principles.
• Proven track record of deploying innovative ML technologies in production.
• Familiarity with developing ML for resource-constrained devices.
• Experience working with large cross-functional and diverse teams.

• Advance human interaction and scene understanding modeling across various fronts.
• Design, train, and deploy multimodal Generative AI technology.
• Implement and demonstrate new user experiences using large foundation models.
• Deliver ML models and solutions that can be adopted in production pipelines.
• Develop memory systems to enable long-term adaptation.
• Generate semantically rich internal representations for open-ended downstream tasks.
