Job Description

In this role, you will in part be a senior individual contributor and in part lead a small team focused on domain expertise with machine learning to impact health AI and health-related hardware design. You will use your leadership and IC skills to define metrics and goals and align with partners. You will also use your skills and experience in state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning to design, implement and evaluate new machine learning models and algorithms to solve challenging problems involving unique data and objectives. You will have the opportunity to explore and develop hybrid scientific modeling and AI technologies and new areas within Apple to expand the team’s portfolio. The ability to substantially improve model performance from a prototype by using domain expertise of partners, novel architectures, optimizing hyper-parameters or exploring data augmentation techniques while staying aligned with partner roadmaps is key. Writing publications and being engaged with the academic community is desirable, but not necessary.

Minimum Qualifications
