Join Apple's HID sensing and interaction algorithms team that develops advanced sensing algorithms enabling best-in-class user experiences across Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Pencil, Apple Watch, and exciting new products. We are looking for an algorithm engineer who is passionate about bridging algorithm development with software integration and who is excited about bringing AI-powered tools into an engineering workflow.

Our team draws from diverse backgrounds: signal processing, machine learning, firmware, software engineering, physics, human factors, and more; all dedicated to inventing new ways users interact with Apple products. You will work at the intersection of hardware, software, and design, collaborating with specialists across Apple to ship extraordinary products to millions of users every year.

Description

This is an algorithm engineering role at the HW/SW/UI boundary, with broad collaboration opportunities across firmware, software, and algorithms teams. You will be responsible for rapidly prototyping sensing algorithms using signal processing and machine learning techniques, and integrating algorithm implementations into the software stack, ensuring robust end-to-end functionality from sensor data acquisition through to the software layer. You will work closely with algorithm engineers, firmware engineers, and software teams to bring algorithm prototypes into production-quality integrated systems.

In this role, you will also lead efforts to identify, evaluate, and deploy AI tools that improve team productivity, including AI-assisted development, data analysis, and workflow automation. You will help define best practices for AI tool adoption within the group and collaborate cross-functionally to scale these efforts.","responsibilities":"Prototyping and Developing sensing algorithms and Integrating algorithm implementations with the SW layer, ensuring correctness, performance, and stability across product configurations
