Embedded Engineer - ISP Algorithms

Summary

Apple's ISP algorithm team is looking for an extraordinary embedded software engineer to drive pioneering technologies for Apple products. As part of the team you would work on core camera autofocus technologies, where you will have the chance to define the way that Apple develops, tests and manufactures all of its products. Our close-knit team cultivates an environment of product innovation, rapid product iteration and collaboration at both team and multi-functional levels with a liberating amount of autonomy.

Key Qualifications

A real passion for embedded software development

Proficiency in C/C++ software architecture, development and optimization

Proficiency in development of multi-threaded real-time software

Familiarity with camera pipeline, video processing, Neon optimization, and Python is a plus

Description

In this role you will implement, design and maintain the software driving the autofocus inside our camera firmware stack including:

1. Design and implement the multi-camera autofocus processing pipeline architecture (multi-threaded image processing algorithms, control loops, and finite state machines).

2. Work closely with the autofocus algorithms team to adapt the architecture for new use cases and integrate their algorithms.

3. Work with other teams up the camera stack to define and implement interfaces to support new autofocus features.

4. Optimize and improve system performance in term of power, usage, latency, jitter and etc.

5. Work on regression, unit testing, and debugging frameworks to improve the reliability of our system and help with diagnosing issues encountered in the field.

This is a highly multi-functional product development role and you will work closely with various teams, like Camera Firmware and Software teams, and the Machine Learning algorithm team. The environment is multifaceted, fast-paced and requires a self-starter demeanor.

Education & Experience

BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
