Sr. Machine Learning Research Engineer, Siri Speech

Summary

Join the team redefining what a deeply personal and integrated assistant can be. 

As part of the Siri organization, you will help shape one of the world's most widely used AI assistants, powered by our next-generation of Apple Intelligence, with capabilities like personal context understanding and on-screen awareness, built with privacy from the ground up. Your work will have direct, meaningful impact for users across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS.

This is a rare opportunity to build at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and human-centered design, shipping technology that is centered around users and their needs.

Description

On the Siri team, you will work alongside a fast-growing team of world-class engineers and scientists to tackle core problems in efficient machine learning for effective
dialog systems and foundation models—ranging from natural language understanding and multi-turn context tracking, to the integration of speech, text, and other modalities.

Responsibilities

You will develop and deploy novel deep learning technologies that make Siri more intelligent, natural, and useful. You will see your ideas not only published in papers, but also improve the experience of millions of users.
