Multi-Touch Algorithms Engineer
Cupertino, California, United States
Machine Learning and AI
Be part of the engineering team crafting next-generation hardware user experiences through sophisticated algorithms. We are looking for an algorithm engineer with a solid understanding. Imagine what you could do as an algorithm engineer. At Apple, novel ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job; there's no telling what you could accomplish. Here is your opportunity to be part of an incredible research and engineering team creating next-generation touch interfaces for iPad, Pencil, and more. We seek inquisitive, creative signal processing or machine learning engineers with expertise in time-series data and algorithm design, strong C/ C++ implementation, and embedded programming skills. We are an eclectic group with backgrounds in signal processing, computer science, estimation algorithms, machine learning, human factors, and more. We are dedicated to inventing new ways of interacting with Apple products and shipping amazing products every year.
Description
This is a key position at a focal point of HW/SWUl integration, with many collaboration opportunities in different fields. Starting from early in the product lifecycle, this engineer will analyze sensor data, design algorithms to preprocess data, extract feature and prototype algorithms to enable expected user interactions. Communicate the findings to the team and leadership and closely collaborate on HW/SW co-design to find the best solution for the ultimate user experience. You will closely collaborate with partner teams throughout the product life cycle, developing metrics to guarantee algorithm performance at different stages, designing and implementing algorithmic mitigations as needed, providing critical support during the production phase, supporting new form factors, and designing and implementing new user-facing features.
Your experience with designing algorithms to process time series sensor data and extract features that can enable user interactions, along with rapid prototyping skills to show proof of concept and on-device implementation, would be essential. Experience with user interface design will help you further in this position.
