As a Software Prototyper, you will investigate new technologies, prototype
concepts, build frameworks for benchmarking human performance, and drive
technical development needed to bring ideas to life. You will work on a wide
array of sensing modalities such as image/video, multi-touch, and force sensing.
Our team works closely with multidisciplinary teams in engineering and design to
deliver actionable insights to drive key decisions for Apple products including
Mac, iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and more.

Requirements

• Expertise in software architecture and development, particularly for real-time sensor processing and interfaces
• Experience building interactive prototypes or applications
• Experience working with sensing technologies and data sources such as image, video, input devices, audio, etc.
