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 and 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, iPhone, Watch and more. We are looking for inquisitive, creative signal processing or machine learning engineers with expertise in time-series data, algorithms design with 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, 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/SW/UI integration with lots of collaboration opportunities among 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 back 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 figure of metrics to guarantee algorithm performance at different stages, design and implement algorithmic mitigations as needed, provide critical support during production phase, support new form factors and design and implement 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 further help broaden your role and effectiveness in this position.

Minimum Qualifications

• Background in signal processing, time series analysis, adaptive filters, machine learning, linear algebra, statistics, etc.
• Experience with prototyping algorithms and defining figure of merits to establish excepted performance achievement.
• Proficiency in Python programming.
• Proficiency in C/C++ coding (embedded/resource constrained implementation for algorithms).
• Excellent communication, presentation, and documentation skill.
• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. degree in CS (preferred), or other STEM fields such as EE, or Statistics.
• M.S. in CS with at least 2 years of experience in research and development of embedded algorithms
• Rapid prototyping experience with embedded systems
• Experience in human computer interaction (HCI) space
• Experience in designing user study protocols and data analysis
• Familiarity with cloud processing platforms like AWS/GCP
