Image Signal Processing Architect, Platform Architecture

Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Are you a big-picture visionary who understands how each element affects all the others? At Apple, our Architecture group is responsible for connecting our hardware and software into one unified system. Join this team, and you'll collaborate with engineers across Apple to design how all of our technologies work in unison!

In this role, you will model and help develop HW for the next generation of digital image processing, particularly related to consumer photography. You'll drive development of our renowned system-on-a-chip architecture and develop algorithms to improve image quality, enable new use cases, improve power and thermal performance, and enable new camera module technologies. You'll develop forward-looking prototype systems as well as build and deploy software development tools that will be distributed to the Apple engineering community, and help build the seamless technology experiences we're known for worldwide.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with other Image Signal Processor architects to demonstrate what the newest hardware designs can do.
• Develop a testing plan to prove that the architecture can produce high-quality results.
• Assist firmware and camera teams with debugging and working around system problems.
• Work with the power team to understand and improve setup and use cases to enable the best image quality within the power budget.
• Collaborate with image quality and software teams to understand their requirements and feed information back to architects to improve designs.
• Create detailed hardware specifications suitable for efficient and practical implementation.
• Model specifications in C++.
• Work with tight deadlines.

Join Apple's Architecture group and be part of shaping the future of digital image processing and consumer photography technology!
