Senior Camera Algorithms Prototyping Engineer

Apple•Cupertino, CA

About The Position

Apple’s Camera algorithm team is seeking exceptional algorithm prototyping engineer to work on the development of image capture and processing/rendering algorithms for all Apple product cameras. As part of this team, you’ll work on camera/ISP/ML technologies based on Apple’s image signal processing pipeline and hardware components, including the Apple Neural Engine. This role allows you to shape the way Apple cameras capture, process, and render exceptional still image and video quality. Our close-knit team fosters an environment of algorithms innovation, rapid prototyping, and collaboration at both team and multi-functional levels. We work closely with various teams, including Silicon Design, camera hardware, camera software, and QA. Our team environment is diverse, fast-paced, and demands a self-starter attitude. DESCRIPTION As a Senior Camera Algorithm Prototyping Engineer, you will architect and design innovative infrastructure to enable efficient algorithm prototyping workflows across Apple's camera technology stack. Working closely with algorithm teams, you will design system frameworks and develop strategic approaches that transform proof-of-concepts into scalable product features. You will collaborate with multi-functional camera technology teams to architect algorithm integration pipelines and design deployment strategies across Apple's product ecosystem. Additionally, you will develop applications, frameworks, and firmware to analyze and demonstrate algorithms that deliver exceptional user experiences across diverse use cases on Apple devices. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, an excellent problem solver, and a fast learner. You are comfortable working in a dynamic multi-functional environment, quick to establish relationships and comfortable with changes and ambiguities. You will bring camera system expertises to a highly interdisciplinary team, and work with many dedicated engineers to build high-quality features in Apple products.
