AI/ML System Performance Simulation Architect - Datacenter

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Every single day, people do amazing things at Apple! The System Performance Architecture team is responsible for all aspects of performance spanning hardware (CPU, GPU, DRAM, storage), software (OS, drivers, applications), and other system characteristics (thermals, power, acoustics). This spans performance modeling, guiding architecture tradeoffs, performance verification, performance debug, and workload characterization.

We are seeking an outstanding Data Center performance architect to contribute to the design and optimization of computer architectures specifically for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence applications. This position is a multi-disciplinary and multi-functional engineering role encompassing all aspects of computer system design with a focus on performance simulation. The candidate will need the skills and experience to create complex system architectures, surprise and delight our customers, and advance our products' performance, size, power, thermal and cost goals.

The role combines deep technical expertise in computer architecture, performance modeling, and machine learning with the opportunity to shape the future of AI/ML systems at Apple. You'll work with cross-functional teams to understand requirements, develop sophisticated performance models, and make architectural decisions that impact next-generation products. The ideal candidate brings both strong technical skills and excellent communication abilities to collaborate effectively across teams.

This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of AI/ML hardware architecture while working with talented teams and cutting-edge technology. You'll have the chance to make significant contributions to Apple's AI infrastructure and help drive innovation in this rapidly evolving space.
