Job Summary
Apples Camera Performance team is looking for an engineer who combines a passion for power and performance optimization with a desire to deliver the best image quality alongside the most fluid user experience this role youll be responsible for analyzing and optimizing camera Power and performance across Apples product range. Building on a strong foundation of computer architecture electrical engineering and operating system fundamentals youll work to setup experimental boards measure power profile performance and memory issues and identify solutions working closely and collaboratively with partners across both software and hardware teams to fully realize the capabilities of Apples world-beating silicon.n
The Camera performance team works cross-functionally across Apple to optimize and sustain the camera experience for both next-generation and existing products. Youll use a range of profiling and analysis tools as well as experimental prototyping setups to triage problems and identify optimizations whilst simultaneously working to assist partner teams in modeling the demands of upcoming features. At a high level youll work to ensure that implementation of Apples image processing algorithms is aligned to silicon capabilities - gaining extensive exposure to GPU and Apple Neural Engine hardware in the process.
Lead the experimental methodology and setup for power and performance measurements of the camera SW issues and bugs in the camera SW stack power and with automation team to integrate dashboards and measurements for camera power and performance.
Proficiency in C C or Objective-CnA knowledge of OS systems computer architecture and electrical with virtual memory scheduling IPC / inter-process communication and synchronizationnExpertise in software profiling techniques and tools (such as Xcode valgrind vmmap Instruments VTune or Perfetto)nAn ability to quickly understand and debug unfamiliar codebases
Prior experience of realtime audio/video processing pipeline developmentnA proven ability to debug performance issues and implement system-level memory and latency optimizationsnProficiency with the use of GPU u0026 TPU hardware to accelerate image processing and AI/ML workloadsnHistory of making data-driven decisions and recommendations to move projects forwardnCS degree or equivalent experience
