Image Scientist Camera Simulation

Do you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience should work As part of our Camera Technologies group youll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. Youll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems from sensor to lens. Youll collaborate with teams across Apple to research design develop test and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together well craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their Camera Modeling and Simulation team a part of the Camera Hardware and Depth Team develops novel metrology calibration and simulation processes to enable the implementation and architecture of machine-vision-driven and photographic experiences. We collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define hardware design specifications and key performance metrics to deliver seamless user experiences. The team is seeking an expert in imaging camera controls or ISP with broad skills to help develop next-generation high-throughput simulation frameworks to guide the design and architecture of products including photographic and computer vision features.

As an Simulation Engineer on the Camera u0026 Depth Architecture team you will design develop and maintain high-throughput simulation frameworks to generate large volumes of synthetic imagery on-demand and build and refine models of camera systemsfrom lens to sensor to ISPto simulate real-world imaging performance.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define hardware design specifications and key performance metrics for photographic and machine-vision applications. nConduct simulation studies to characterize end-to-end performance (hardware and software) and guide product architecture decisions. nPartner with cross functional teams to ensure simulation accuracy reflects real-world hardware behavior and communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders across hardware software and product teams and manage project deliverables and schedules to meet commitments.
