About the role
Apple Inc. in Seattle, WA seeks an AI Research Scientist focusing on multimodal foundation models—architecture, pre-training, and distillation—for on-device intelligence. You will push novel architectures and efficient training methods that translate to real Apple experiences. You will explore teacher–student distillation, data strategies, and energy-aware designs, with opportunities for publication and selective open-sourcing. Collaboration across hardware, software, and AI teams is required.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
