Can Computer Vision and Machine Learning 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 a motivated and hard-working software engineer who can help deeply integrate AI models into iOS, macOS and other Apple systems. You will work closely with machine learning researchers, software engineers, and product teams to design and implement core functionality that provides ML capabilities centrally in the OS. This is an opportunity to help build the software stack for the next generation of experiences on Apple devices. We are the Human and Object Understanding (HOUr) team within the System Intelligence and Machine Learning (SIML) group. We are an applied R&D team that develops core technologies for visual 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!
