Apple’s AI/ML team is looking for a Human Factors Researcher to support the development of products and experiences powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).
This is an active role with a wide range of responsibilities and collaborators. The AI/ML development process spans many disciplines of human study and involves hundreds of technical and creative collaborators across Apple.

They approach to research with curiosity and an appreciation for the infinite ways the human experience can vary. Readily moving between minute details and big ideas, they advocate for all people at every step in the process, engaging others in productive debate.
