Job Description

Summary

Posted: Apr 12, 2023
Role Number: 200474584
Apple is looking for a computer vision architect with exceptional technical and communication skills to contribute on high-impact projects that will enable game-changing future Apple products. The role requires deep knowledge of image processing and ability to define, analyze and optimize the architecture of video pipelines. Successful candidate must possess good understanding of both hardware and software solutions used in battery operated devices, including tradeoffs in optimal performance vs. power consumption.

Key Qualifications

  • Ability to evaluate existing and emerging imaging systems against use case requirements, including, understanding of hardware engines (CPU, GPU, Neural Network Accelerator, DSP, etc.) and how to choose the right one for a given application.
  • Understanding of difference between classes of algorithms and how to optimize their efficiency on available hardware engines (Computer Vision vs DeepLearning) as well as resource sharing and arbitration.
  • Understanding of the impact processing flow selection will have on overall system performance, power consumption and resource sharing by various algorithms.
  • Deep knowledge of sensors and camera technologies, including, image acquisition (sensor+lensing+ISP), rolling vs global, color vs monochrome, rectilinear vs equidistant and their impacts on algorithms, color management, performance optimization in low light conditions, etc.
  • Understanding of system resources supporting image collection and camera calibration in multi-camera systems and ability to define common system pre-processing blocks for camera streams.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in system architecture and performance analysis, including, input interface definition/optimization of image streams serving multiple algorithms, estimation of system compute requirements based on required performance.
  • Ability to define system-wide policies optimizing resources in multi-sensor streaming systems with memory constraints as well as estimation of system responsiveness based on latency analysis and system margins.
  • Ability to translate product goals to feature level architectures and the ability to derive for each feature the end-to-end requirements (with rationale) and decompose them down to module/component specific requirements.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally (Algorithms, Embedded, ML, Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, Human Factors, Vision science etc.) with stakeholders to define CV features, understand trades, sensitivities, risks and perform budgeting across full system.
  • Ability to effectively communicate and align with peers while navigating complex trade-spaces and the ability to summarize learnings, take-aways and recommendations in a succinct way to executive leadership.

Description

Ideal candidate must have proven track record of having participated in the development of multiple consumer electronic products. Should have broad understanding of hardware and software technologies that are employed in low-power hand-held / wearable devices. Must be a self-starter who is highly-motivated and an organized thinker with excellent communication and presentation skills.
