This role involves developing camera software across many layers, including firmware, kernel, and user space. You will be responsible for helping to design, implement, maintain, and test new camera and ISP features across all Apple products.
This is a highly cross-functional product development role. You'll collaborate closely with Silicon Design, Camera Hardware, Media Frameworks, and QA teams — translating complex requirements into robust, high-quality implementations.

3+ years of relevant industry experience in embedded or systems software development.
Proficiency in C and C++.
Proficiency in developing real-time software in embedded environments.
Experience in low-level software development, including hardware-software integration and debugging.
Familiarity with image signal processing (ISP) pipelines or camera systems.
Experience with macOS or iOS driver and kernel-level development.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to convey complex technical concepts clearly across teams.
Self-directed and adaptable — comfortable navigating ambiguity in a dynamic, fast-paced product environment.
