About the position
APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Collaborate with algorithm and framework teams to integrate AR/VR algorithms for the Apple Vision Pro, following best practice software development processes and by optimizing for real-time performance. Lead the design of C++/Metal GPU framework to reduce encoding bandwidth for algorithm verification and future-proofing integration tests by replicating hardware transformations. Writing unit tests to validate design. Architect low-light mitigation framework and prior-augmentation algorithm for hand-occlusion using Objective-C++/Metal to improve algorithm metrics and enhance user experience. Work on cutting-edge technology to integrate state-of-the-art algorithms that enable a high-quality user experience across a range of tentpole use cases and applications. Collaborate with software and hardware engineers across different development teams (e.g. camera engineering, drivers/OS, computer vision & graphics, software frameworks, etc.) for bringup of new hardware platforms and prototypes. Design and maintain APIs, benchmark and optimize code to improve performance, refining implementations and delivering high-quality production code. Debugging and triage of issues on new and existing platforms. Contribute to unit tests, code-reviews, as well as architectural reviews. 40 hours/week.
