HID Algorithms Software Engineer

Apple’s Human Interface Devices (HID) group is responsible for developing innovative ways to interact with Apple products. We work across product lines, delivering technologies like AirPods, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other future Apple input technologies. The HID Algorithms team is an eclectic group with backgrounds in computer science, signal processing, machine learning, control theory, human factors, and more.

We’re looking for a skilled software engineer to help build the infrastructure and solution patterns for implementing our sensor data processing algorithms — the algorithms that underlie the interactive technologies our customers rely on every day. In this role, you’ll design and build scalable, high-quality shared libraries for the future of Apple’s human interface devices!

You will design and implement production algorithm frameworks for new technologies, fusing them with existing capabilities to bring new experiences to our users. You will collaborate with other software, firmware and algorithm engineers to design complete solutions and build systems that scale as innovations evolve, incorporating new features and architecture changes. You will need to balance efforts between supporting near-term product cycles and advancing long-term roadmaps, while finding creative ways to leverage GenAI technologies to streamline development processes and elevate user interactions across Apple's ecosystem.
