Apple is looking to drive Front of Screen (FOS) visual quality across the Apple ecosystem, enabling enhanced visual experiences across their platforms, from rendering Liquid Glass UI materials to rendering complex HDR media formats while maintaining artistic intent through color and display management.
Requirements
- Software development experience in one or more of the following: C/C++, Objective-C/Swift, TCL
- Knowledge or experience in HDR WCG formats, such as Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG-HDR
- Knowledge or experience in video and image systems and display technologies and laboratory tools and equipment commonly used to evaluate them
- iOS/macOS development experience
- Experience conducting or participating in subjective visual quality user studies
- Proficiency in Linux/Darwin command line environments
- Software Tools and Automation Development: Python, Matlab, Shell Script
Responsibilities
- Design subjective and objective Front-of-Screen (FOS) visual quality test procedures that focus on the most important features, use-cases and risk areas, while fitting within allotted time constraints
- Document plans clearly, sharing within the team and with cross-functional partners for feedback before ultimately presenting to organizational leadership
- Execute documented visual quality test procedures while carefully accounting for all of the necessary variables that can impact the test results
- Analyze test results, thoroughly and carefully, to draw insightful conclusions, partnering with teammates and cross-functional partners to better understand observations as-needed to fully contextualize results and the visual quality implications
- Present analysis results within the team and with cross-functional partners for feedback before ultimately presenting to organizational leadership
- As needed, provide domain expertise and leadership to coordinate with cross-functional partners to drive issue demonstration and resolution
- As needed, apply domain expertise to develop alternative or corrective color and display management prototypes along with procedures to clearly demonstrate how the prototype impacts Front of Screen (FOS) visual quality
Other
- Degree in CS/EE or equivalent experience
- Excellent judgment and integrity with the ability to make timely and sound decisions that take into account a diversity of opinions and experience
- Ability to stay focused and prioritize your workload while achieving extraordinary quality
- Upbeat, adaptable, and results-oriented with a positive attitude
