Computational Display Engineer

Summary

On the Core Display Incubation Team within Visual Experience & Incubation, we build next-generation display features and front-of-screen visualization tools that shape what users see every day. Pushing display technology forward brings tough, exciting challenges across optics, imaging, and sensing, calling for new ideas in signal and image processing, computer vision, graphics rendering, optics design, and machine learning. As Apple's product lineup grows, you'll have the opportunity to take novel display concepts from early prototype all the way into the Apple ecosystem.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in a science or engineering field with 10+ years of experience in imaging, display technology, or computer vision Hands-on experience building imaging setups and developing algorithms from scratch Experience with signal and image processing, optics design, or graphics rendering Working knowledge of optics and display fundamentals

Preferred Qualifications

M.S. or Ph.D. in computer vision, display science, optics, computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field, with 5+ years of relevant experience Experience with optical modeling, display calibration, or high-speed/high-fidelity graphic rendering. Clear written and verbal communication skills, especially when explaining complex technical trade-offs to cross-functional partners and leadership Track record of collaborating well across large engineering teams Self-directed and proactive, comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems and driving them to completion

Description

We're looking for curious, hands-on scientists and engineers with a strong background in display technology, computer vision, graphics rendering, and optics. In this role, you'll work at the intersection of hardware and software, connecting the physics of light and optical systems to the algorithms that create a great front-of-screen experience.

Responsibilities

Design and run data-collection and optical measurement experiments on display and imaging systems Develop computer vision, graphics rendering, optics design, and machine learning algorithms for new display features Model and simulate optical and display systems to guide both hardware and algorithm design Build proof-of-concept demos to test and showcase new ideas Define engineering requirements and calibration specs for upcoming display features
