# GenAI Research Engineer

Do you believe that generative models can fundamentally change how people interact with devices? Are you excited by the possibility of connecting people to unprecedented levels of creativity? Come join the team that turned cutting edge Generative AI research into compelling user experiences through Apple Intelligence. We are part of the Intelligent System Experiences team at Apple and work on the core modeling technology behind Genmoji, Image Playground and Image Wand. From web-scale datasets to distributed training of foundation models, application specific adapters to on-device optimizations, you will have the unique opportunity to advance and ship state-of-the-art technology that impacts Apple users around the world! Description We're looking for a Research Engineer to make these models dramatically faster, smaller and cheaper to run on-device and on server. You'll work across the whole efficiency stack: Develop and deploy optimizations algorithms to speed up inference of our production diffusion models (PTQ, QAT, kernel fusion, model distillation). Design hardware-aware architectures that fit within compute and memory limits with minimal loss of quality. Own the process end-to-
