Summary Posted: Feb 22, 2022 Role Number:200348514 Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish! Apple is looking for a world-class prototyping engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team to create ideas and concepts for future Apple camera products and customer experiences. Our Camera Incubation Team is responsible for looking down the road and explore and prototype novel camera experiences, architectures and technologies. We collaborate with design and product teams to bring new features across the Apple product line. We would love you to join our team to tackle these challenges! This team is seeking a computational imaging and vision expert with excellent theoretical and practical knowledge of machine learning as well as hands-on prototyping skills. As a member of the Camera Incubation team you will be part of a dynamic, fast-paced environment that requires excellent collaborative skills, as well as passion and dedication to demonstrate your ideas with concept prototypes. A successful candidate has experience with the broader application of machine learning for exploration of new capabilities in the visual processing space, is comfortable with state of the art processing techniques, and has a good understanding of the image formation process from photons to professionally looking images, or extraction of machine-vision information. We are looking for an individual with a rapid prototyping mindset, able to adjust to changes in project directions based on insights obtained from experimental or simulated data. The candidate should be able to clearly articulate what motivates a particular approach, and its pros and cons as well as risks. Key Qualifications Computational imaging, and state-of-art computer vision Understanding of deep learning principles and architectures Solving inverse problems using deep learning Machine learning in vision, both model and data-driven approaches Integrated processing of different sensing modalities including depth sensing Camera architectures and processing pipelines Theory and practice of image quality evaluation Experience in prototyping new technologies and systems Excellent software skills in C/C++, Python, Matlab, computer vision and imaging libraries, Pytorch, TensorFlow This role requires the ability to learn quickly and become familiar with several different technology areas Experience with end-to-end camera system modeling (preferred) Excellent communication skills Description We brainstorm, design, and prototype novel experiences around use of cameras and come up with innovative technical solutions if required. You will participate in generating innovative ideas and concepts which you will then implement in software or hardware prototypes. You will communicate cross-functionally with camera and design teams to assess usability as well as technology advantages and risks. Education & Experience M.S or Ph.D. in Computer Vision, Statistical Signal Processing/Machine learning, with 5 years experience in related field.
