The Vision Product Group is working on exciting new technologies. We are looking for a driven and dedicated performance engineer. This team is building the core foundational platform for some of Apple's most advanced technologies in spatial computing. As part of our creative organization, you will have a uniquely rewarding opportunity to craft future products that will delight and inspire millions of people every day.

Description

As an engineer in this role you will help with ANE efficiency as well as improving overall visionOS responsiveness. You will work closely with Computer Vision and Foundation Model teams to diagnose performance bottlenecks and develop innovative solutions to optimize compute and memory footprint. Your responsibilities will include: Analyze, benchmark and identify performance bottlenecks for ML/Foundation models in Vision Pro Develop in-house performance solutions (such as analysis tools) to optimize inference stack & identify performance wins. Conduct deep-dive analysis to identify & reduce bottlenecks and measure inference improvements in terms of memory, compute and latency. Partner with feature and product teams to consult on algorithm and SW architectural design decisions to achieve visionOS performance goals Optimize SW and HW via tunable parameters & integrate research findings into product implementation
