Can Computer Vision and Machine Learning change the world and transform the way people interact with devices? Can it revolutionize how we think about fundamental applications such as communication, photography, health and fitness, home security, digital payments, voice assistants, and many more? We truly believe it can! And we are looking for an exceptional talent with a strong foundation in machine learning, domain expertise in computer vision, and the motivation to turn ideas into action. An ideal candidate has the ability to translate high-level product goals into ML requirements, rapidly explore a wide range of approaches, be informed but not limited by published literature, and deliver production-quality ML solutions. Since the role is highly cross-functional, strong inter-personal and leadership skills would be a great asset. We are the Human and Object Understanding (HOUr) team within the System Intelligent and Machine Learning (SIML) group. We are an applied R&D team that develops core technologies for perception and reasoning of humans that power various applications across the Apple eco-system. Real-time always-on object detection (Center Stage, Cinematic Mode), facial attributes (Photographic Styles), end-end system-wide person recognition (Photos, HomeKit, Memojis, Apple Pay), spoof detection (IDs in Wallet), text ROI detection (Live Text), fine-grained breed classification (Visual Lookup), and image in-painting (Photos Edit) are just some of the core technologies the team has developed that have contributed to some of Apple’s most beloved features recently!
Key Qualifications
As a member of the SIML-HOUr team, you will develop solutions for visual and multi-modal understanding and representation of humans in the real world. These solutions will be geared towards impacting Apple products and services in various domains. You will work closely with product teams and other partners to help define the ML technologies that need to be developed and how these will strengthen the product roadmap. You will be responsible for advancing or building new ML capabilities in visual and multi-modal perception and reasoning, ranging from object detection, recognition, generative modeling and 3D layout understanding, to audio and language processing, and predictive behavioral modeling. As a technical contributor, your main tasks in this position will include algorithm and ML model design, ML training, data and annotation specifications, benchmarking, prototyping and integrating the technology into the next generation of Apple products and services.
Education & Experience
M.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field (mathematics, physics or computer engineering); or equivalent experience. Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We take affirmative action to ensure equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
