Apple's Camera ISP team is seeking an embedded software engineer to develop low-level systems that enhance camera experiences across various Apple products. This role emphasizes collaboration within a close-knit team, focusing on innovation and technical excellence. The engineer will work on camera software development, engaging with multiple teams to translate complex requirements into high-quality implementations. A passion for craftsmanship in software and adaptability in a fast-paced environment are essential.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in embedded or systems software development.
  • Proficiency in C and C++ programming languages.
  • Experience in developing real-time software in embedded environments.
  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • Develop camera software across firmware, kernel, and user space.
  • Design, implement, maintain, and test new camera and ISP features.
  • Collaborate closely with Silicon Design, Camera Hardware, Media Frameworks, and QA teams.
  • Translate complex requirements into robust, high-quality implementations.
  • Navigate ambiguity in a dynamic, fast-paced product environment.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
