TL;DR · Pre-silicon Compute and ML Framework Manager

The Pre-silicon Compute and ML Framework Manager leads the Pre-silicon Compute Frameworks team within the Graphics, Games, and Machine Learning organization. This manager oversees a team of engineers responsible for designing new APIs for future GPU generations and conducting performance analysis on next-generation hardware. Key responsibilities include guiding API designs, partnering with cross-functional software and hardware leaders to align roadmaps, and contributing to the bring-up of new chips and products. The role requires expertise in GPU compute APIs like Metal, CUDA, or OpenCL, along with machine learning framework experience in PyTorch, JAX, or CoreML. Candidates must possess deep knowledge of computer architecture, operating systems, and C/C++ programming to solve complex problems during the pre-silicon development of compute and machine learning technologies.

What you'll do

  • Lead and grow a team of engineers to deliver software for Apple's compute and ML roadmap.
  • Own the design and development of new APIs for future GPU generations.
  • Guide API designs to ensure developers can easily utilize new hardware features.
  • Conduct performance analysis on next-generation GPU hardware during the pre-silicon phase.
  • Partner with hardware and software leaders to propose and evaluate features for new silicon.
  • Manage the transition of features from emulation through silicon to product bring-up.
  • Ensure the software and hardware roadmaps align with state-of-the-art performance features.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 2-3 years of experience as a manager or lead.
  • Experience with at least one GPU compute API such as Metal, CUDA, or OpenCL.
  • Understanding of machine learning fundamentals and familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or CoreML.
  • Knowledge of operating systems, computer architecture, and CPU/GPU programming with experience in C/C++.
  • Experience defining, planning, and executing complex projects involving partnership across multiple teams (preferred).
  • Track record in strategic leadership and decision-making (preferred).
  • Familiarity with Apple framework and API design patterns (preferred).
