Senior Camera Systems Engineer - Camera Incubation

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring curiosity, passion, and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish!

In Camera Incubation we prototype new features and technologies across Apple products. We collaborate with design and engineering teams to explore innovative experiences related to imaging and multimodal sensing. Join us to turn ideas into prototypes and see them realized in action!

We are looking for a creative engineer with excellent practical knowledge of prototyping imaging and sensing systems at the interface of hardware and data processing. The candidate should have experience with sensing architectures, optical light modulation, data representation, and transport to ML-based processors. A nimble design-centric mindset is critical: the ability to rapidly adjust to changes in investigation directions based on insights obtained from experimental data. The candidate needs to be able to clearly articulate what motivates a particular approach, assessing pros, cons, and risks.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Strong background in designing innovative system solutions to multimodal imaging problems
• Hands-on prototyping and experimental skills for demonstration of innovative concepts with proof-of-concept sensing systems
• Strong knowledge on sensor architectures and signal acquisition
• Understands physics-based principles of camera systems
• Self-motivated, creative innovator with a passion for bringing exciting new imaging technologies to Apple products
• 10+ years of industry experience in applied imaging systems, and an advanced degree (Ph.D./M.Sc.) in AIML/EECS or similar field

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in designing imaging systems to interface with Neural Network-based data processing pipelines
• Experience in characterizing sensing system performance including accuracy and power consumption
• Knowledge in optimization of multi-signal fusion systems
• Experienced in an iterative prototyping environment
• Thrives in a cross-functional work environment and is effective communicating across different disciplines
