About

• Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values
• that lead to great work. Every new product and service we create results from us
• strengthening each other’s ideas. That happens because we believe we can make
• something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better.
• Do you want to push the limits of the best mobile phone camera in the world? The
• IQQ team features a diverse engineering roster including software engineers,
• color and imaging scientists, tuning engineers, photographers, or aesthetic
• scientists. We work at a fast pace and require everyone to be highly
• self-motivated. The Image Quality and Qualification - Technology team develops
• novel imaging technologies and new software features for the next generation of
• Apple cameras. Our goal is to improve image quality and enable new capture
• experiences by trying new things! We start by exploring new ideas, testing them
• by building proof-of-concept demos, reviewing images to confirm customer
• benefits, and then implementing the best ideas in our ecosystem. We delivered
• algorithms that drive some of the iPhone cameras’ groundbreaking features such
• as HDR photography. We are passionate about photography and strive to build new
• innovative features that let users unleash their creativity in ways they never
• thought possible – we want to work with people with the same desire! We're
• looking for people who are passionate about cutting-edge photographic
• experiences. Join us to learn more about image quality, dive into our cameras'
• features, and explore new ideas!

• DESCRIPTION

• We are looking for an enthusiastic imaging scientist who can help us build new
