About the job
Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build or service we create 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! We are a team of computer vision and machine learning (CVML) engineers building real-time 3D perception and input systems for future Apple products. We are looking for a senior software engineer with strong C++ expertise and experience developing performance-critical systems, ideally in 3D perception, robotics, or AR/VR. In this role, you will help design, build, and ship core 3D perception and input technologies used by millions of users.
