We are seeking highly motivated, innovative and confident individuals to join our GPU Platform Architecture Team. You will be at the centre of a chip design effort working with all disciplines, with a critical impact on getting high performant products to millions of Apple customers efficiently. The internship can be based in London Bishopsgate, St Albans or Cambridge. We will be hiring for the internship in 2025/2026 and across the available start dates: Winter 2025 or Spring/Summer 2026.
The role will require you to analyze the performance of existing and future workloads and propose new features and research on novel ideas to boost the performance of our GPUs. You will use performance and energy models to evaluate, iterate and tune ideas until the proposal is mature enough to be presented to senior GPU Architects to decide on its feasibility. You will also cross‑collaborate as a larger architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment and boost productivity of the entire team.
Qualifications:
