TL;DR · Robot ML Engineer

As a Robot ML Engineer, you will join a team of skilled engineers and scientists to develop new experiences for Apple products. Your primary responsibilities include designing and implementing AI/ML systems to solve real-world problems, evaluating and debugging complex AI systems, and integrating these intricate systems into a larger software stack. You must demonstrate strong proficiency in robot planning and decision making, including reasoning under uncertainty, POMDPs, and intent prediction. The role requires expertise in modern ML approaches like LLMs, VLMs, VLAs, and Diffusion Models, alongside classical robotic algorithms such as optimization and graph search. You will work across the full robotics stack, including controls, perception, and motion planning, while utilizing Swift and Apple developer tools to build practical solutions for complex technical problems.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement AI/ML systems to solve real-world problems.
  • Evaluate and debug complex AI systems.
  • Integrate intricate AI systems into a larger software stack.
  • Break down large features into practical, implementable solutions.
  • Develop robot planning and decision-making algorithms for reasoning under uncertainty.
  • Apply modern ML approaches including LLMs, VLMs, and Diffusion Models.
  • Implement classical robotic algorithms such as optimization and graph search.
  • Work across the full robotics stack including controls, perception, and motion planning.

What we're looking for

  • MS/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Math, or a related field.
  • Strong software engineering background.
  • Ability to break down large features and implement practical solutions.
  • Strong proficiency with robot planning and decision making, such as reasoning under uncertainty, POMDPs, and intent prediction.
  • Strong proficiency with modern ML approaches like LLMs, VLMs, VLAs, and Diffusion Models (preferred).
