Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s 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. It’s 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, you’ll do more than join something - you’ll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible - all while staying connected to the people around us. In this position, you will join a team of computer vision and machine learning researchers and engineers to discover and build solutions to previously-unsolved challenges and push the state of the art. We’re looking for an excellent software engineer to support the ARKit algorithms team. This is a team dedicated to develop Computer vision and Machine Learning algorithms. Our engineers are pragmatic solvers working on challenging realtime vision/perception problems to deliver experiences that are impactful, meaningful, and influential. As a member of the fast-paced ARKit group -the team that released the world’s largest platform for 2D/3D computer vision algorithms- you will have a unique and rewarding opportunity to innovative and contribute to the development of the upcoming next big products that will delight and inspire millions of Apple customers every day. Imagine what you could do here.

DESCRIPTION

This is a role for a senior CVML software engineer responsible for developing and maintaining relocalization frameworks that leverages of different technologies and sensor modalities.
