About the role
The Sensing Architecture team develops cutting-edge sensor solutions and technologies that are central to Apple’s products, including the iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, and more. The key goal of the Sensing Architecture team is to enable the world’s best user experience through seamless device interactions. New challenges arise every day that require the sharp problem-solving skills of talented individuals. The team features a collaborative and hands-on environment that fosters engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.
DESCRIPTION
You will be responsible for developing advanced sensing algorithms for future Apple products. This will involve algorithm prototyping, algorithm performance bounding and validation, and assessing sensor hardware and performance requirements. You will be designing new sensing algorithm architectures using a variety of techniques such as analytical modeling, ML methods, statistical signals processing, and classical algorithms/optimization methods to characterize and validate system performance. Development and negotiation of cross-functional requirements to ensure subsystem performance will be a key part of the role, and as such you will collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering and Firmware teams to create state-of-the-art sensor solutions.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience Strong background in image/signal processing, estimation/inference, or machine learning Strong engineering math background (e.g. applied linear algebra, probability) Strong programming skills in high level languages like Python/Matlab
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math or Physics Multi-disciplinary understanding of EE and Physics principles Experience with analyzing large datasets and developing data processing pipelines Experience with training/validation for statistical inference or ML/DL algs Experience with algorithm optimization for HW constraints (e.g. compute, memory, power) Experience with establishing quantitative algorithm performance benchmarks Experience with ML frameworks and data processing packages (eg PyTorch, SciPy, pandas, jax) Experience in modeling complex cross-disciplinary systems Experience in system-level design of imaging or sensing systems Excellent written and verbal communication skills
