What are the responsibilities and job description for the HID Interaction Algorithm Engineer position at Apple, Inc.?
Join the engineering team that fuses multimodal input to enable seamless interactions on human-computer interfaces like Vision Pro. Human Interface Devices (HID) is looking for an Interaction Algorithm Engineer to help build the next generation of computing.\\n\\nHID operates at the intersection of hardware, software, and design. The problems you solve will be multidisciplinary and require strong collaboration and communication skills. You'll prototype ideas at the early stages of development and develop robust solutions through production.
In this role, you will:\n- Prototype and define interactions end-to-end, in collaboration with HW, SW, and design partners\n- Design user studies and leverage prototypes to define success criteria\n- Develop processes for measuring key performance indicators\n- Analyze data to identify and drive algorithm improvements\n- Create and maintain core algorithms for new interactions and root-cause issues throughout the stack\n- Communicate user impacts of technical challenges to cross-functional stakeholders
2 years SW development experience (or equivalent internship / research experience)\nProficiency in C and Python\nProficiency in signal processing and/or machine learning\nComfortable with 3D mathematics\nExperience developing interactions or input technologies\nExperience using genAI tools for SW development (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.)\nAble to communicate clearly and collaborate with cross-functional teams\nExcellent problem solving and root cause analysis skills\nBS/MS/PhD in Computer Science (CS), Electrical Engineering (EE), Human Computer Interaction (HCI), or a related field / equivalent experience
Experience developing software with agentic workflows\nExperience developing software for Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) (ex. ARKit)\nExperience with Objective-C and/or Swift
