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. Do you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally
creative solutions? Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience
should work? As part of our Camera Technologies group, you’ll help design the
innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce
photos even more incredible than the last. You’ll design and develop
groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems, from sensor
to lens. You’ll collaborate with teams across Apple to research, design,
develop, test, and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together, we’ll
craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers
can expect from their cameras. Bring passion and dedication to your job and
there's no telling what you could accomplish!
