The Visual Intelligence and Machine Learning Scientist role at Apple focuses on bridging computational neuroscience and modern AI to enhance user experiences. The team works on translating cutting-edge research into practical applications, developing models that analyze human visual attention and behavioral states. Candidates will engage in both exploratory research and the deployment of algorithms on real-world data. This position requires collaboration with app teams and designers to ensure scientific advancements translate into impactful features.

• MS with 3+ years of research experience in Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, focusing on computer vision or machine learning.
• Demonstrated research contributions to visual intelligence or perceptual modeling, including peer-reviewed publications or equivalent industry impact.
• Deep expertise in visual perception, including saliency modeling, object detection, and multimodal learning.
• Strong hands-on experience training and deploying deep learning models using frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
• Strong mathematical foundations in linear algebra, probability, optimization, and signal processing.

• Build models that reason about human visual attention, behavioral states, comfort, and perceptual salience from video and multimodal sensor streams.
• Prototype algorithms from first principles through to shipping features.
• Collaborate with app teams and designers to ensure scientific advancements have immediate impact.
• Deploy algorithms on real-world data and evaluate their performance.
• Engage in research that contributes to the development of user-facing features.

• Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
