Description
Description
Apple is hiring data engineers for the Siri Response / Text-to-Speech (TTS) team.
You’ll be working at the frontier of AI, processing massive amounts of speech and text data for our TTS systems. You’ll work closely with fellow engineers to gather and integrate new speech and text data into our repositories, transforming raw data into formats usable for TTS model training, and making datasets available to partner teams in Apple to power Siri’s voice.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Collect and centralize data from various sources, working with internal privacy, legal and modeling teams
• Build processes and workflows that support data transformation for TTS systems (e.g. audio processing and text annotation), based on the needs and requirements of modeling teams
• Provide datasets to partner teams, managing access or usage control
• Create dashboard for interactive data exploration
• Develop tools and tests to ensure quality and help diagnose issues
• Perform analysis on external and internal processes and data to identify opportunities for improvement
• Develop prototype ML models utilizing in-house toolkits
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
