The Interaction and Human Factors team is looking for a Software Prototyper to research and build the next generation of sensor-based human-computer interactions. We are an
eclectic group with backgrounds in human factors research, signal processing, machine learning, and more. As a member of this team, you will sit at the boundary between prototyping, research, and production - often switching rapidly between exploratory research and product-focused development to enable interaction concepts to make the leap from prototype to product.
As a Software Prototyper, you will investigate new technologies, prototype concepts, build frameworks for benchmarking human performance, and drive technical development needed to bring ideas to life. You will work on a wide array of sensing modalities such as image/video, multi-touch, and force sensing. Our team works closely with multidisciplinary teams in engineering and design to deliver actionable insights to drive key decisions for Apple products including Mac, iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and more.
