About The Position

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible — all while staying connected to the people around us. The Systems Frameworks team within Apple's Vision Products Group (VPG) is seeking a passionate system architect to shape the foundational software that powers Apple Vision Pro. In this role, you'll architect elegant solutions to complex system-level challenges, making critical decisions about power/performance trade-offs that directly affects user experience. You'll design intelligent resource management policies that enable the system to gracefully adapt to varying conditions, ensuring users enjoy seamless spatial computing experiences even under constrained conditions. You will collaborate with teams across Apple to establish system policies that balance ambitious feature requirements with real-world constraints, turning seemingly impossible challenges into delightful user experiences.

Requirements

  • Bachelor or Master of Science degree in Computer Science or similar field.
  • Minimum 7 years of industry experience with a track record of successful projects.
  • Proficiency in writing production-quality C/C++ code with deep understanding of system-level programming (Objective-C and Swift a plus).
  • Deep understanding of operating system fundamentals and proven track record of system architectural decisions that balance competing constraints.
  • Strong communication skills with ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

  • Track record of cross-functional collaboration with hardware, firmware, system software and application teams to deliver system-wide optimizations.
  • Expertise in multi-threading, concurrent processing, software performance and optimization.
  • Hands-on experience profiling, analyzing, and optimizing software systems for both performance and power efficiency.
  • Knowledge of modern mobile/embedded SoCs.
  • Understanding of CPU/GPU/ANE architectures, memory hierarchies, and power domains.
  • A strong sense of responsibility, and an obsession with quality and details.
  • Self-directed problem solver with motivation to quickly learn new domains and technical skillsets, analyze complex system software issues and crashes.

Responsibilities

  • Architect low-power latency-critical system frameworks that make intelligent runtime decisions about resource allocation, thermal management, and feature availability.
  • Develop sophisticated algorithms that prioritize visual fidelity over battery life and scale back non-critical features to maintain core functionality.
  • Seamlessly transition between performance states without disrupting the user's immersion.
  • Work with cutting-edge spatial computing hardware, partnering with silicon, firmware, and application teams to optimize system performance.
  • Influence the future of augmented and virtual reality experiences, taking designs through the full lifecycle from proof-of-concept to production software.
