Apple's Siri team is seeking to optimize and accelerate Large Language Models (LLMs) and other machine learning models to enhance the overall user experience and improve performance and efficiency.
Requirements
- Understanding of Transformer and LLM architectures.
- Strong understanding of Operating System, Compiler and Computer Architecture fundamentals.
- Expertise in optimizing software for take advantage of underlying hardware architecture.
- Experience in analyzing, identifying, and optimizing performance bottlenecks.
- Strong plus if you have expertise in optimizing model architectures for on device inference.
- Strong plus if you have previously worked with modeling pipeline teams in model deployment and promotion pipelines.
- PhD in related field
Responsibilities
- Analyze and optimize the performance of machine learning models and systems used by Siri.
- Develop and implement strategies for model tuning, parameter optimization, and efficient resource usage.
- Conduct performance benchmarking and develop tooling and metrics to measure model performance in terms of compute, memory and latency.
- Collaborate with feature and product teams to consult on modeling decisions to achieve Siri performance objectives.
- Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate research findings into product implementation.
- Consult with multiple product teams to determine the appropriate foundation model (On Device vs Server) for their use cases and to help them achieve their accuracy and performance targets.
- Lead efforts in identifying bottlenecks and optimizing our model inference stack.
Other
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline, or 10+ equivalent industry experience
