Job Description

The Sensing Architecture team develops cutting-edge sensor solutions and technologies that are central to Apple's products, including the iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, and more. The key goal of the Sensing Architecture team is to enable the world's best user experience through seamless device interactions. New challenges arise every day that require the sharp problem-solving skills of talented individuals. The team features a collaborative and hands-on environment that fosters engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.

DescriptionYou will be responsible for developing advanced sensing algorithms for future Apple products. This will involve algorithm prototyping, algorithm performance bounding and validation, and assessing sensor hardware and performance requirements. You will be designing new sensing algorithm architectures using a variety of techniques such as analytical modeling, ML methods, statistical signals processing, and classical algorithms/optimization methods to characterize and validate system performance. Development and negotiation of cross-functional requirements to ensure subsystem performance will be a key part of the role, and as such you will collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering and Firmware teams to create state-of-the-art sensor solutions.
Responsibilities:
Develop Algorithm Proof-of-Concepts:
Conduct algorithm prototyping, performance bounding, and validation. Leverage a variety of techniques such as analytical modeling, physics fundamentals, statistical signals processing, and ML/classical algorithm and optimization methods to characterize and validate system performance. Contribute to the development of the the team's software toolchains and methodologies used for algorithm development.
Define Algorithm Requirements:
Define sensor/HW and algorithm performance requirements needed for algorithms to be successfully deployed in upcoming products.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Develop and negotiate cross-functional requirements to ensure algorithm performance. Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineering and Firmware teams to create state-of-the-art sensor solutions. Preferred QualificationsMS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math or PhysicsMulti-disciplinary understanding of EE and Physics principlesExperience with analyzing large datasets and developing data processing pipelinesExperience with training/validation for statistical inference or ML/DL algsExperience with algorithm optimization for HW constraints (e.g. compute, memory, power)Experience with establishing quantitative algorithm performance benchmarksExperience with ML frameworks and data processing packages (eg PyTorch, SciPy, pandas, jax)Experience in modeling complex cross-disciplinary systemsExperience in system-level design of imaging or sensing systemsExcellent written and verbal communication skillsMinimum QualificationsBS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experienceStrong background in image/signal processing, estimation/inference, or machine learningStrong engineering math background (e.g. applied linear algebra, probability)Strong programming skills in high level languages like Python/MatlabPay & BenefitsAt Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $171,600 and $302,200, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
