SoC Machine Learning Software Engineer

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something - you’ll add something.

By collaborating with other product development groups at Apple, you’ll push the industry boundaries of what wireless systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers worldwide. Join Apple’s world-class silicon development team as an ML SW Engineer on the Cellular FW team. As a key player, you will orchestrate the research, design, and implementation of groundbreaking AI/ML models, methodologies, and applications revolutionizing embedded 6G/5G/4G/multimode cellular firmware development and silicon/FW integration. In this role, you will be directly involved in our Cellular Modem firmware machine learning efforts, collaborating alongside our internal multi-functional teams and using your expertise in machine learning to improve device performance across diverse modem functions. Additionally, you will demonstrate your knowledge and hands-on experience to apply Gen AI and LLMs to improve engineering development workflow automation and efficiency.
