Machine Learning 3D Reconstruction Engineer
The Video Computer Vision organization is working on exciting technologies for future Apple products. Our team delivers computer vision and machine learning algorithms that power many Apple technologies like human understanding and human intelligence algorithms with applications for digital humans, health and AI. In this role, you will work closely with our team of experts in computer graphics, computer vision and machine learning to design and implement 3D reconstruction algorithms that power large-scale ground-truth data pipelines and bring high impact to millions of users.
Description
We are looking for a skilled 3D reconstruction engineer, with a strong background in computer graphics, particularly geometric algorithms and 3D reconstruction. In this role, you will design, implement, benchmark, and optimize algorithms for ambitious real-world problems in human reconstruction, producing the ground-truth data used to train and ship ML models in Apple products. You will both develop new reconstruction algorithms and build the core APIs that let ML engineers apply them at scale. You will work in a small and dynamic team to take algorithms from prototype to production, contributing directly to upcoming Apple products. Your contributions won't just support algorithm development; they'll directly shape product direction, unlock entirely new AI/ML capabilities, and define what's possible at Apple.
