Research Engineer, Large Visual Generative Model Optimization
Seattle, Washington, United States
Software and Services
The System Intelligence and Machine Learning (SIML) organization at Apple is looking for visual generative modeling research engineers to build the next generation of experiences and capabilities in Apple Intelligence. This is an opportunity to join a dedicated core group in the Intelligent System Experience group at Apple, which built the foundational image generation technologies behind Image Playground, Genmoji, Image Wand and Photos Clean Up experiences that shipped as part of Apple Intelligence with iOS 18.2. Join us as we transform the way billions of users express themselves, create and communicate on Apple platforms!
We are looking for world-class technology leaders that have the ability to translate ideas to action, and the hands-on expertise to train, deploy, and optimize large-scale, generative ML-based features / workflows on device. In this role, your focus will be on optimizing large visual generative models to enhance the performance of applications related to image / video generation, editing, personalized avatar, stylization, and many more. You will work in a highly cross-functional setting, provide critical technical expertise and leadership, and be responsible for delivering ML solutions that serve the intended experiences while respecting practical constraints such as memory, latency, and power. Your innovations will significantly impact the entire ML model lifecycle of Apple Intelligence.
Description
We’re looking for strong ML software engineers / leaders to drive the development of the on-device Apple Intelligence visual generation model developments. This includes defining and leading the execution of model compression, distillation, and integrating to the full Apple Intelligence user experiences. We expect the candidate to have strong, efficient ML model development experiences and a passion for shipping machine learning models on device. The primary responsibilities associated with this position range from algorithm design and implementation, ability to integrate research into production frameworks, and collaborating closely with ML researchers, software engineers, hardware & design teams cross-functionally.
Your primary responsibilities will include :
- Designing, implementing, and deploying innovative conditional visual generative models.
- Implementing novel and powerful model compression, distillation algorithms, and efficient model architectures.
- Performing research in emerging areas of efficient neural network development including quantization, pruning, compression algorithms with a focus on visual generation models.
- Staying abreast with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in machine learning, visual generative models, multi-modal foundation models, computer vision, and natural language understanding. We encourage publishing novel research at top ML conferences.
- Effectively communicating results and insights in a highly cross-functional team.
