Engineering Manager Simulation Content

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build service we create is the result of us making each others ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world changing lives for the better. Its the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in we can do the best work of our lives. Here youll do more than join something youll add somethingnnAs an Engineering Manager in the Special Projects group you will have an opportunity to be part of an innovation-focused organization within Apple that is exploring the overlapping space around Simulation and AI/ML. You will be able to work on ambitious high-reward and impactful projects in the early stages of development. This team has a strong focus on simulation in service of AI/ML projects. We use both traditional and generative AI techniques and we are looking for ways to adopt new techniques while making best use of long-standing ones. Our ideal engineering leader is fearless when it comes to trying new things and is willing to iterate on ideas. We value team members who can quickly prototype and also iterate and polish all the way to high-quality implementations. Moreover we value leaders who can foster collaboration within theirnteam and with cross-functional groups.

As manager of the Simulation Content team you will:

Lead and manage a team of innovative engineers and artists to generate and manage 3D content and generatensimulation-derived datasets for customers blending traditional and generative AI-based and execute on a roadmap which delivers key datasets to our team and customers in a timely the team by hiring and developing top engineering and art talentnnWork with cross-functional teams to design plan and deliver datasetsnnLead the team but also make an individual contribution on tools and/or content generation.n Contribute to architecture design and feature development thoughtfully incorporating generative AI approachesnContribute to toolsets and data deliveries directlynUse our own tools to help understand their strengths and weakness better.

7 years of experience developing software and content as an engineer or a technical artistnStrong software engineering as a software engineering team with 3D content production: Video games film or visual effects production are all great with contemporary generative AI for coding and 3D data -focused: passion for customer experience attention to details. Experience with live production software or content production architecture and design skills. Ability to consider alternatives and manage risk in project planning. Ability to try new approaches to existing communication and presentational skillsnExperience leading the technical development of larger features and collaborating across organizational to manage multiple projects simultaneouslynAbility to build a culture of collaboration and productivity in the team along with supportive risk to grow engineers of varying levels toward their career goals.

Experience with USD format and APIsnExperience with contemporary simulation systems (Omniverse IssacSim Gazebo) is a big plus.
