No Experience Computer Programming Jobs in Foster City, CA

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build or service we create is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something!
We are a team of computer vision and machine learning engineers building real-time perception systems, motion synthesis, and human understanding technologies for current and future Apple products. The VCV org is a centralized applied research and engineering organization responsible for developing real-time on-device Computer Vision and Machine Perception technologies across Apple products. We are looking for engineers with expertise in deep learning-focused computer vision for human understanding, motion synthesis, visual recognition, biometric algorithms, and 3D perception systems.
In this role, you will help design, build, and ship core perception technologies, motion synthesis systems, and human understanding algorithms used by millions of users across Apple's ecosystem.
Description
You will work on cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning problems, developing algorithms and systems that enable natural human-computer interaction. This includes human perception, motion synthesis, biometric recognition, 3D vision, and performance-critical real-time systems.
You will be responsible for developing and optimizing computer vision and machine learning algorithms for human understanding, including pose estimation, gesture recognition, facial analysis, and behavioral modeling. You will build motion synthesis systems and algorithms for realistic human motion generation and animation, design and implement biometric algorithms for secure authentication and identification systems, and create real-time 3D perception and tracking systems for spatial computing and AR/VR applications. As a member of a fast-paced team, you have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape upcoming products that will delight and inspire millions of people every day.
