About the position

Imagine what you could do here. The people at Apple don't just create products - they create the kind of wonder that's revolutionized entire industries. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Computer Vision and Generative AI Engineer to help work on exciting technologies for future Apple products and bring them to life. In this role, you will join a team of computer vision and machine learning engineers to discover and build solutions to previously unsolved challenges and push the state of the art for a global audience. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams of business SMEs, engineers, data scientists, designers, and researchers, having deep expertise in both practical and theoretical aspects of 3D Computer Vision algorithms. This includes proficiency in generative models, 3D reconstruction, multi-modal models, pose estimation, or tracking. This role is exceptionally technical and will require you to actively engage in all aspects of the work, from conceptualization and theoretical considerations to design, coding, and implementation. In this role, you will focus on the following key areas: You'll be working in a team of computer vision and machine learning engineers to prototype and ship world-class algorithms that push the state of the art. You will turn prototypes into automation pipelines and deploy them to production, deciding when to use out-of-the-box solutions versus building custom solutions and utilizing both. Ongoing data analysis will be essential to build new or fine-tune existing models such as GPT to optimize results. You will partner closely with software engineers to implement these models in our production environment to enable product features for a worldwide audience. Communicating results of analyses to business partners and executives will be a key part of your role. You will also maintain expertise in the latest advancements in AI technology and partner with your team members to prepare presentations, papers, and patents for your inventions.
