At Apple, Platform Architecture is responsible for connecting our hardware and software into one unified system. Join this team, and you'll collaborate with engineers across Apple to design how all of our technologies work in unison. We are looking for a Neural Engine HW Engineer who will help us build future hardware platforms for intelligent mobile devices.
Description
In this highly visible role, you’ll work with other architects building the next-generation Neural Engine—a custom HW engine behind iOS CoreML framework. You’ll work with SW/applications teams on driving future requirements on machine learning/computer vision applications, prototype them in C++/Python, write architecture spec, and work with SW/HW design teams for SW/HW implementation.
Minimum Qualifications
BS degree
Experience writing machine learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural network, Transformer and their applications in LLM and image/video processing
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in compilers—scheduling, register allocation, etc
Programming skills in C++/C and Python
Knowledge in image processing, camera pipeline, computational photography and natural language processing
Communication skills and ability to work across various groups
Understanding of system implications of aforementioned algorithms in terms of performance and power on a given HW architecture
Experience with analyzing ML workloads on different HW architectures—profiling and identifying the performance bottleneck in the system and coming up with suggestions for performance improvement either at algorithm, at SW or HW level
MS or PhD degree
