Audio Machine Learning Engineer

Apple's Hardware group is home to some of the world's most advanced technologies - powering the experiences that define Apple products. We are looking for a talented and curious Audio Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing Machine Learning team in Herzliya. In this role, you will help create the full data lifecycle that underpins our models: from designing what data we collect, through curation and quality monitoring, to running rigorous experiments that drive model improvements. You will work closely with other ML and Data Engineering teams to ensure our models are trained on the best possible data, reaching the best accuracy, and that we deeply understand when and why they don't perform as expected.

Description

Redefine the future of human-computer interaction and the way people communicate. Contribute to products that shape mobile computing and create breakthrough technologies in the audio domain. In this role, you will push the boundaries of audio solutions across the full stack - from data pipelines and model training to optimization for Apple silicon. You'll collaborate with world-class researchers and engineers to ship technology that reaches hundreds of millions of users, while upholding Apple's unwavering commitment to privacy.
