Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Video is at the core of nearly all Apple products, and as an engineer on our team, you will research practical ML algorithms and build with us the next generation of video technology. We are looking for a highly ambitious individual, who will flourish working on technically meaningful problems at the frontier of deep learning and compression research. Your work will redefine the video experience for billions of users.

Description
In this role you will work together with colleagues to develop ML-based video approaches for current and future Apple products. This position requires a highly self-directed individual, who is comfortable working at the cutting edge of research: strong and analytical skills will be critical towards solving challenging problems in uncharted technical territories. Your responsibilities will include: Provide the glue between ML and its efficient deployment. This will require a deep understanding of both the building blocks of ML models, but also techniques of their implementation. In order to optimize performance on-device, you will not only need to perform down-to-the-metal tuning, but also perform ML research to investigate novel model architectures which achieve optimal tradeoffs between accuracy and efficiency. Collaborate closely with team members to optimize the efficiency of the models and deploy them on particular hardware architectures Work with cross-functional teams to achieve quality and computational requirements towards shipping the technology Communicate: demonstrate the technology, present to leadership, discuss progress with colleagues, and so on
- Experience in ML and specifically deep learning: principles, model prototyping and architecture design, training procedures, visualization and debugging methodology, objective function design, and so on
- Strong familiarity with the latest ML and CV innovations
- Proven track record of success in deep learning, with publications in top ML/CV venues
- Experience in down-to-the-metal performance optimization: speed, power, memory footprint
- Excellent software skills in common ML tools such as Python, PyTorch or TensorFlow, and in C/C++; experience implementing custom ops in CUDA is a plus
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with one of the following is a big plus: generative modeling, optical flow, perceptual quality, ML for video or data compression
- Experience in designing practical ML implementations and having ML experience in industry is a plus
