Image Signal Processing Architect, Platform Architecture

Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Are you a big-picture visionary who understands how each element affects all the others? At Apple, our Architecture group is responsible for connecting our hardware and software into one unified system. Join this team, and you'll collaborate with engineers across Apple to design how all of our technologies work in unison!

In this role, you will model and help develop HW for the next generation of digital image processing, particularly related to consumer photography. You'll drive development of our renowned system-on-a-chip architecture and develop algorithms to improve image quality, enable new use cases, improve power and thermal performance, and enable new camera module technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with other Image Signal Processor architects to demonstrate new hardware designs' capabilities
• Develop testing plans to prove architecture can produce high-quality results
• Assist firmware and camera teams with debugging and system problem workarounds
• Collaborate with power team to optimize image quality within power budget
• Work with image quality and software teams to understand requirements and improve designs
• Create detailed hardware specifications for efficient implementation
• Model specifications in C++
• Work with tight deadlines

This role offers an opportunity to shape the future of digital imaging technology at one of the world's leading tech companies. You'll be at the forefront of combining traditional image processing with Machine Learning, inventing new hardware architectures, and developing practical implementations that push the boundaries of consumer photography.

Join Apple's Architecture group and be part of creating the seamless technology experiences we're known for worldwide.
