About the role

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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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
  • BS and a minimum of 10 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
  • Pay & Benefits
  • Note: Apple benefit, compensation and employee stock programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program.
