Pre-silicon Compute and ML Framework Manager

Every iPhone iPad Mac Apple Watch Vision Pro and Apple TV runs on the compute and graphics software foundation built by Apples Graphics Games and Machine Learning team. The Pre-silicon Compute Frameworks team sits at the leading edge of that work designing the Metal and Metal compute frameworks and validating performance for features that will define future Apple Silicon looking for an engineering manager with a strong technical background whos excited to build and lead a team of engineers and to partner with software and hardware leaders to shape Apples GPU compute roadmap!

As manager of the Pre-silicon Compute Frameworks team you own the new APIs for Apples next GPU generations. You will lead support and grow a team of engineers building Metal and Metal compute framework features and conducting performance analysis on next generation GPU hardware carrying features from emulation all the way through silicon and into the bring-up of new chips and will partner directly with leaders across Apples software and hardware organizations to propose develop and evaluate features for new silicon generations representing Apples compute and ML roadmap while the hardware is still taking shape.
