About the role

Senior Perception Algorithms Engineer position at Apple focused on designing robust real-time multi-object tracking, multimodal perception, and integration of perception systems into production software. The role blends modern deep learning with classical techniques to advance Apple products and platforms, with emphasis on evaluation pipelines, datasets, and edge-case handling.

Responsibilities

  • Designing and implementing a robust, real-time multi-object tracking system to solve real-world computer vision problems.
  • Leveraging multimodal estimates (vision, audio, etc.) to ensure robust, high-fidelity estimation across complex and challenging environments.
  • Developing rigorous evaluation frameworks, curating datasets, and defining metrics to benchmark model performance, analyze edge cases, and continuously improve perception pipelines.
  • Integrating perception systems into a larger software stack with real-world performance constraints.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Computer Science, Robotics, or a related field with 3 years industry experience or MS with 5+ years industry experience.
  • Proficiency in systems programming (C++/Swift) and writing performant, production-quality code.
  • Fluency in Python and modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX) with a solid foundation in machine learning and traditional perception and state-estimation pipelines.
  • Ability to break down complex problems into testable solutions, prioritizing challenging edge cases and accessible experiences for all users.
  • Curiosity about new technologies, flexibility, and an openness to ambiguity.
