Generative AI Engineer - Camera Algorithms

Build generative AI camera capabilities for Apple’s Camera Algorithms team in Cupertino, CA (onsite). This role focuses on foundational technologies for computational photography and video, with the opportunity to apply generative AI directly on Apple hardware such as the Apple Neural Engine and a custom Image Signal Processor (ISP).

Responsibilities

• Help drive the future of Apple’s camera capabilities as a member of the Camera Algorithms team.
• Collaborate deeply and cross-functionally to deliver camera features that are seamlessly integrated and optimized.
• Use Apple’s industry-leading hardware, including the Apple Neural Engine and custom ISP, to develop camera features and expand what’s possible with a camera.

Requirements

• BS and at least 3 years of relevant industry experience.
• Deep understanding of and hands-on experience with modern Generative AI models such as GANs, VAEs, Diffusion Models, and Transformers, plus fine-tuning techniques including LoRA and DPO.
• Proficiency with ML frameworks such as PyTorch.
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C++.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven track record of innovation in generative AI for image/video processing (for example Text-to-Image, Text-to-Video, or Video-to-Video), shown through shipped products or publications at top-tier conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, SIGGRAPH, and others.
• Strong problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
• Experience as a key contributor to one industry-leading image/video generation model.
• Familiarity with camera sensors and ISP algorithms.
• Experience taking technologies from early-stage prototypes to polished, production-ready products.
