The Robotics AI Engineer will work on leveraging advanced AI to enhance user interaction through semantic and contextual understanding. This role focuses on translating natural user intents into adaptive behaviors while working with cutting-edge AI/ML technologies. The team values rapid experimentation with the latest models and tools, aiming to deliver exceptional user experiences. Candidates should have a strong foundation in machine learning and a track record of shipping real products.

• BS or MS in Computer Science or Machine Learning
• Strong background in and deep understanding of modern machine learning methods
• Experience training or fine-tuning your own transformer and/or diffusion models
• Proficiency using coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex
• Genuine excitement for experimenting with the latest AI models, tools, and multimodal capabilities
• PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field is a plus
• Experience with model fine-tuning and distillation for efficient, on-device deployment
• Hands-on experience with inference engines such as llama.cpp, vLLM, MLX, or Core ML
• Experience building agent harnesses for multi-step, closed-loop reasoning
• Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch or TensorFlow)

• Translate natural user intents into robust, adaptive behaviors.
• Work across the full stack of applied AI/ML, including prompting and evaluating frontier models.
• Distill complex models into efficient on-device versions for deployment on Apple silicon.
• Rapidly experiment with the latest AI models, tools, and agent harnesses.
• Collaborate with a product-driven team to deliver great user experiences.

• 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.
