Sonic Summary

info
  • The Energy Tech organization at Apple is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to develop on-device control systems for managing thermal and energy tradeoffs.
  • Candidates should have an MS or PhD in a relevant field, or a BS with significant experience, along with expertise in model predictive control or reinforcement learning.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with C/C++ for on-device applications are required, as well as experience with real-world sensor data.
  • Preferred qualifications include experience with thermal systems or energy optimization, and a proven track record of deploying models into production.
  • The position offers a competitive salary range of $120,000 to $160,000 and requires at least 3 years of relevant experience.
The 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.

Description


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.

Minimum Qualifications


MS or PhD in controls, robotics, electrical engineering, computer science, or related field — or BS with relevant experience Experience with model predictive control, optimal control, or reinforcement learning (sequential decision-making) Strong programming skills in Python; comfort with C/C++ for on-device work Experience working with real-world sensor data (noisy, incomplete, high-volume) Demonstrated ability to take a project from data exploration through working prototype

Preferred Qualifications


Experience with thermal systems, battery management, or energy optimization Familiarity with embedded or resource-constrained environments Background in system identification or online parameter estimation Comfort with ambiguity — able to scope and drive work without detailed specifications Track record of shipping models or control systems into production, not just research
