Would you like to play a part in shipping groundbreaking technology for large-scale systems, natural language, and artificial intelligence? Join the Siri ML Systems Evaluation Engineering (MLSEE) team at Apple! We interact with various engineering teams to identify issues and test requirements, drive the quality of Siri features, and create frameworks that support evaluation and qualification. You will work with the people who craft the intelligent assistant that helps millions of people get things done — just by asking! As a senior manager, you will play a critical role in driving the evaluation methods of various platforms and product areas for Siri. You will drive coverage and fidelity of testing and evaluation for pre-ship hill climbing and readiness for a wide range of AIML products, including Apple Intelligence features. You will be crafting new and leveraging existing methodologies and frameworks to validate the end-to-end quality of new features. Working alongside SW and ML engineering product teams as a critical partner, you will utilize a suite of available libraries and frameworks - test automation, LLM-based evaluators, and failure analysis tools - and drive requirements for improving those. You will be responsible for benchmarking performance for new features/platforms and driving improvement recommendations.

Description

We are seeking an expert senior engineering manager to lead Siri's intelligent services and platforms (iPhone, HomePod, CarPlay, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook) evaluation and qualification. You will be responsible for partnerships with product engineering that will drive the test and evaluation strategy, frameworks, performance testing framework, and solutions that can scale. You will work alongside SW and ML engineering product teams as a critical partner.
