SummarySummaryPosted: Mar 5, 2021 Weekly Hours: 40 Role Number: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 an exceptional talent with a strong foundation in machine learning, domain expertise in computer vision, and the ability to turn ideas into action. We are the Human and Object Understanding (HOUr) team within the System Intelligent and Machine Learning (SIML) group. We are an applied R team that develops core technologies for visual perception and reasoning that power various applications across the Apple eco-system. Real-time always-on object detection in the iPhone camera, person recognition (face+body) technologies for Photos and Home products, and image in-painting in Photos Edit are just some examples of how our team has contributed to some of Apple's most beloved products.Key QualificationsHands-on experience with deep learning and other current machine learning algorithmsFamiliarity with deep learning toolkitsStrong analytical and problem solving skillsStrong programming skills in Python and C++Awareness of the challenges associated to the transition of a prototype into a final productFamiliarity with the challenges of developing algorithms that run efficiently on resource constrained platformsLeadership in both applied research and developmentExcellent written and verbal communications skills, be comfortable presenting research to large audiences, and have the ability to work hands-on in multi-functional teamsAbility to work independently and with othersDescriptionAs a member of the SIML-HOUr team, you will develop ground breaking computer vision solutions that will be crucial for enabling high-impact features. You will work closely with product teams and other partners to help define what vision technologies need to be developed and how these will benefit the product roadmap. You will be responsible for further advancing or building new capabilities in visual perception and reasoning, ranging from object detection and recognition to generative modeling and 3D geometry. As a technical contributor, your main tasks in this position will include algorithm design, data and annotation specifications, neural network modeling, benchmarking, prototyping and integrating the technology into the next generation of Apple products and services.Education & ExperienceM.S. or PhD in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science or a related field (mathematics, physics or computer engineering), with a focus on computer vision and/or machine learningAdditional Requirements- Experience with OS X and iOS development tools is a plus- Basic knowledge of Objective-C is desirable Experience in industry is a plus
