## Description

The Multimodal Intelligence team builds and ships the Computer Vision and Machine Learning systems behind Apple Intelligence - spanning data collection and curation, training and fine-tuning, evaluation, optimization, and on-device deployment.
Our team has an established track record of delivering features that combine Apple's sensing hardware with large foundation models, including Visual Intelligence and the on-device foundation models that power text and visual understanding across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
We are focused on building experiences where a device can see, read, and reason about the world around it - privately, responsively, and on-device wherever possible. **Description** We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to build the pipelines, infrastructure, and production systems that turn multimodal foundation models into shipping Apple Intelligence features.
You will own end-to-end model delivery: building and scaling data curation and training pipelines, fine-tuning and optimizing large multimodal models for on-device and hybrid execution, standing up reproducible evaluation and regression testing for text and visual understanding, and hardening promising approaches into robust, maintainable production systems under real latency, memory, power, and privacy constraints.
