About the position

The Siri Conversation Intelligence (SCI) team at Apple is focused on developing advanced technology for large-scale systems, spoken language, machine learning, and large language models (LLMs) to enhance the conversational experience with Siri. This role involves conducting research in deep learning and creating state-of-the-art natural language and conversation understanding systems, with a strong emphasis on collaboration with software and platform engineers to integrate these models on-device.

Responsibilities

• Develop novel ML/DL models including LLMs for natural language and conversational understanding
• Work with software and platform engineers to convert and compile the models to run on device and integrate them with runtime systems
• Optimize latency and performance of the models
• Diagnose model errors and perform accuracy hill climbing for shipped products

Requirements

• 3-5+ years proven programming skills using standard ML tools such as C/C++, Python, PyTorch, Tensorflow, Hugging Face
• Hands-on experience working (training, fine-tuning, optimizing, deploying) with large models (e.g. LLMs)
• Solid understanding of state-of-the-art technology in machine learning, deep learning (including LLMs) and natural language understanding
• Excellent problem-solving skills, critical thinking, strong communication, and collaboration skills

Nice-to-haves

• Publication at top ML/DL/NLP conferences such as NeurIPS, ACL, EMNLP is a plus
• Experience applying common machine learning optimization techniques, like quantization and distillation
