Job Summary
Apples ISP team is seeking an exceptional Embedded Firmware Engineer to drive pioneering camera technologies for Apple products. Y ou will work on core camera and ISP technologies including Apples custom image signal processing pipeline and hardware this role you will help define how Apple develops tests and manufactures its products. Our teamnfosters an environment of product innovation rapid iteration and collaboration across multiple functions while providing meaningful autonomy to deliver impactful work.
This is a highly cross-functional product development role where you will partner closely with silicon design silicon validation and machine learning algorithm teams. The work spans the full product lifecycle from pre-silicon emulation through silicon bring-up and production. The environment is fast-paced and multifaceted requiring initiative technical curiosity and comfort navigating ambiguity .
Develop low-level ISP firmware for sophisticated image processing pipelines running on Apples latest system-on-chip ISP hardware validation feature bring-up and camera software stack integration on emulators during pre-silicon development and on silicon during initial bring-up. nIdentify and resolve system performance challenges including power consumption memory utilization latency and timing with silicon designers to debug hardware-firmware interactions and contribute to architecture decisions that shape future camera capabilities.
BS or MS in Computer Science Electrical Engineering or a related fieldn3 years of experience developing multi-threaded software within embedded RTOS environmentsnStrong proficiency in C and C
5 years of embedded firmware development experiencenExperience with camera pipelines image signal processors or video processing systemsnTrack record of bringing up firmware on new silicon or hardware platforms Familiarity with pre-silicon developmentnenvironments including emulators and FPGA prototypesnExperience with firmware performance tuning memory optimization and power managementnProficiency with AI-assisted development tools and workflowsnUnderstanding of low-level hardware interfaces and register-level programmingnAbility to debug complex systems using hardware and software toolsnStrong communication skills and ability to work effectively across teams
