Apple has one of the most complicated and efficient supply chains in the world, powered by world class internal systems and tools developed and managed by the Global Sourcing and Supply Management (GSSM) Solutions & Strategy team. These tools enable us to effectively manage costs, supply, and bring supply chain intelligence to the forefront of our decisions. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to be responsible for the product strategy, roadmap, and execution to streamline, analyze, and drive decisions. This means creating intuitive experiences that leverage the full potential of a Frontier LLM while being simple, approachable and incredibly powerful.
We work cross-functionally and you will partner daily with our AI engineers, designers, software developers & stakeholders to build impactful software products, specifically unlocking new Agentic experiences. We believe in going deep on user research and data analysis to decide where we should go next with our products, we believe in delivering iterative features quickly and continuously improving our products and processes, and we are a strong design and product-led organization. We love talking to and working with our users every day to enable them to do their best work.
We want someone that has experience taking an idea from the whiteboard to production and then scale it.
DESCRIPTION
The GSSM organization enables the mass production of Apple's entire product line from iPhones, iPads and MacBooks to the Mac Pro, AppleTV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro. Part of the magic that makes all of this possible is a robust set of applications and systems designed and developed by Apple that support the production of a product from prototype to announcement and beyond.
The applications we build are used daily by the people at Apple that manage supply, cost, BOM across all products and regions. We have a large cross functional user group including Global supply managers, Material Program managers, Ops Finance, Legal, Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers. We work closely with them to design and architect the best solutions for the challenges faced when making the highest quality hardware products.
We are actively expanding our AI capabilities to drive daily efficiencies, pushing to develop cutting-edge solutions that leverage MCP and agentic technologies to revolutionize supply chain management for Apple. This role demands a deep understanding of AI principles, practical experience in building and deploying AI-powered applications, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible. You will be instrumental in driving the next generation of AI capabilities within GSSM, directly impacting Apple's ability to deliver its products at scale.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding AI Engineer Jobs at Apple
Align your portfolio to Apple's ML stack
Apple's AI teams prioritize on-device inference, Core ML, and privacy-preserving techniques over cloud-heavy architectures. Showcase projects involving model compression, neural engine optimization, or federated learning to match what their hiring teams are actually evaluating.
Target teams where sponsorship is routine
Apple's Siri, Vision Pro, and silicon teams regularly hire AI Engineers from abroad. Filtering your search to these product lines increases your odds of landing on a team with an established sponsorship workflow rather than one that's navigating it for the first time.
Clarify your visa category before the offer stage
Apple sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, and H-1B1 visa depending on your nationality. Know which category applies to you before interviews so you can answer recruiter questions about authorization confidently and avoid delays when the offer is drafted.
Prepare degree equivalency documentation early
Apple's AI Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. If your credentials are from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved agency before you receive an offer to avoid holding up the LCA filing with DOL.
Use Migrate Mate to find open AI Engineer roles at Apple
AI Engineer openings at Apple that explicitly support visa sponsorship can be hard to identify through general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter Apple's listings by visa type and role so you're only applying to positions where sponsorship is confirmed.
Understand Apple's H-1B timeline if you're switching status
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employer must file your H-1B petition with USCIS by April 1 for an October 1 start. Apple's legal team initiates this process months earlier, so engage your recruiter about timing as soon as your offer is verbal, not after signing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Apple sponsor H-1B visas for AI Engineers?
Yes, Apple sponsors H-1B visas for AI Engineers. Apple participates in the annual H-1B lottery each April for cap-subject candidates and also files cap-exempt petitions for candidates transitioning from qualifying institutions. The process is handled by Apple's in-house immigration legal team, which coordinates with the recruiting team once an offer is extended.
How do I apply for AI Engineer jobs at Apple?
Applications go through Apple's careers portal at jobs.apple.com, where you can search by team or keyword. Because visa-sponsored roles aren't always labeled clearly on general job boards, browsing through Migrate Mate lets you filter Apple's AI Engineer openings specifically by visa type, saving you from applying to roles where sponsorship isn't available.
Which visa types does Apple commonly use for AI Engineers?
Apple sponsors H-1B for most nationalities, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying roles, and H-1B1 visa for citizens of Chile and Singapore. For longer-term pathways, Apple also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship. F-1 OPT and CPT are available for students earlier in the pipeline.
What qualifications does Apple look for in AI Engineer candidates who need visa sponsorship?
Apple's AI Engineer roles typically require a bachelor's degree at minimum in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field, with a master's or PhD preferred for research-oriented positions. Hands-on experience with frameworks like PyTorch or JAX, familiarity with on-device or edge deployment, and a track record of shipping ML features at scale carry significant weight in the evaluation process.
How do I think about timing when Apple is sponsoring my visa?
If you're relying on the H-1B cap, your employment can't legally begin until October 1 of the fiscal year for which you were selected. Apple's recruiters and immigration counsel typically begin the process months before the April 1 filing deadline, so you'll want your offer finalized and documentation ready no later than February or March to stay on schedule.
