About The Position

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.

You 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.

Requirements

• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience
• Strong background in image/signal processing, estimation/inference, or machine learning
• Strong engineering math background (e.g. applied linear algebra, probability)
• Strong programming skills in high level languages like Python/Matlab

Nice To Haves

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math or Physics
• Multi-disciplinary understanding of EE and Physics principles
• Experience with analyzing large datasets and developing data processing pipelines
• Experience with training/validation for statistical inference or ML/DL algs
• Experience with algorithm optimization for HW constraints (e.g. compute, memory, power)
• Experience with establishing quantitative algorithm performance benchmarks
• Experience with ML frameworks and data processing packages (eg PyTorch, SciPy, pandas, jax)
• Experience in modeling complex cross-disciplinary systems
• Experience in system-level design of imaging or sensing systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Responsibilities

• Developing advanced sensing algorithms for future Apple products
