Job description
from Apple careersThe Energy Tech org builds systems for managing the energy flow and thermals of Apple devices in service of a great user experience. Within this org, the team develops end-to-end solutions utilizing on-device machine learning and control, creating new techniques from data analysis and prototyping. Our work directly impacts the behavior of Apple devices across the product families. We are developing on-device control systems that manage thermal and energy tradeoffs on Apple devices. This means building models that capture device dynamics, designing cost functions that encode explicit priorities, and shipping control loops that adapt to real-world conditions. We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer who can work across the full stack: analyzing field data to understand device behavior, prototyping control and ML algorithms, and getting them running on-device. The problems are messy — noisy sensors, changing hardware, competing objectives — and the solutions need to be simple enough to ship on constrained hardware. h3 Minimum Qualifications /h3 MS or PhD in controls, robotics, electrical engineering, computer science, or other quantitative field — or BS with relevant experience Experience with model predictive control, optimal control, or reinforcement learning (sequential decision-making) Experience working from raw logs or sensor data — comfortable building…
