Research Scientist/Engineer - LLM Efficiency

Were seeking research scientists and engineers to create breakthrough innovations in machine learning. We are particularly interested in efficiency of frontier models, including LLMs and diffusion models. You will work in an organization of world-class machine learning researchers and engineers. Our work powers cutting-edge technologies across the Apple ecosystem and is published in the most selective scientific journals and conferences. We are a team of best-in-the-world research scientists and engineers with deep experience in machine learning. We work on exciting new technologies that bring joy to millions of people. In our daily work, the team stays innovative, productive, and fun by sharing several key values:

• Passion for the mission: Were here to make something extraordinary. We seek out whatever work is right and strive for the best possible results.
• Modesty: Finding the right answer is more important than being right. We search for solutions as a team and value clear-eyed feedback..
• Lean habits: You cant grow without limits. Time constraints and big goals encourage us to sharpen our focus and learn to make phenomenal decisions.Designing, training, and adapting frontier models to improve efficiency and performance.
