Designs phones, computers and their operating systems
Our team is new, growing, and evolving quickly, and we are hiring across multiple disciplines. We work at the intersection of machine learning, hardware, and software, creating technologies that reshape how people communicate and experience the world around them in everyday life.
MSc or PhD in physics, electrical engineering, or a related quantitative field. 3+ years of relevant industry experience. Strong signal processing background (time-frequency analysis, noise, coherence, filtering). Experience with large-scale data analysis Strong understanding of experimental physics and measurement systems, enough to interpret results and spot artifacts. Solid statistics: hypothesis testing, regression, uncertainty estimation, and feature selection. Ability to work independently on open-ended problems.
Machine learning frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch) and model interpretability techniques. Experience with optical, photonic, or sensor data. Distributed or high-volume data processing. Occasional hands-on lab experience.
We are looking for a scientist who can turn experimental results into deep physical insight. Working closely with experimental teams gathering raw data, you will analyze multi-source datasets to uncover the connections between signals, derived features, and system-level performance metrics. You will combine data-driven modeling with first-principles physical intuition to explain performance dynamics and isolate the root causes driving them.
Analyze large, multi-source datasets of signals and features. Build scalable, reproducible pipelines. Find and quantify relationships between signal characteristics, extracted features, and performance outcomes. Apply non-linear and data-driven methods to uncover effects that linear analysis misses. Build and validate models that explain or predict performance from signal-level and feature-level inputs. Assess data quality and measurement uncertainty. Recommend which measurements or experiments to run next. Separate causal effects from correlations through ablations and structured analysis. Present findings and recommendations clearly to physics, algorithm, and systems teams. Flag inconsistencies in the physics or the data early.
Apple designs and sells consumer electronics, from iPhone smartphones and Mac computers to tablets and wearable devices. Its operating systems manage apps and built-in functions for communication and work, while iCloud stores files and synchronizes data across devices. Customers buy additional digital services through subscriptions such as Apple Music and Apple TV, and developers distribute software through the App Store. Apple earns money from hardware sales, subscriptions and digital transactions, selling directly to customers and through retailers and mobile carriers around the world. It was founded in 1976 and has its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
