Sr. AR/VR/AI Experience Prototyper - Vision Products Software

Explicitly mentions and requires "vibe" coding / AI‑assisted rapid prototyping skills.

Senior experience prototyper for Apple's Vision Products Group building interactive spatial and intelligence‑driven user experience prototypes using AR, AI/ML, computer vision, and IoT technologies. Rapidly create demos and experiential prototypes to inform product decisions and guide incubation of future hardware and software capabilities.

The Vision Products Group is seeking a Senior Experience Prototyper to rapidly design and build interactive prototypes that express key capabilities of future spatial, intelligence, and ambient computing products. The role focuses on hands‑on, cross‑functional prototyping to surface user experience insights and guide product decisions.

• Rapidly develop interactive user experience prototypes involving nascent technologies such as AR, AI/ML, CV, ambient computing, and IoT.
• Use Apple technologies (e.g., Swift, ARKit) and augment with other tools to express core experience elements.
• Demonstrate prototypes to cross‑functional partners, technical collaborators, and leadership.
• Communicate prototype learnings, translate experience insights into product requirements and plans.
• Navigate hardware/software trade‑offs and explore ambiguous, open‑ended problems.

• Familiarity with prototyping technologies such as Touch Designer, Pure Data, Arduino.
• Experience with IoT/ubiquitous computing interfaces and natural UI approaches.
• Familiarity with immersive experiences, 3D math, and 3D development platforms (e.g., Unity).
• Comfort with hardware/software trade‑offs and rapid experimental work.

• BS in Computer Science or equivalent and 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Able to build end‑user applications using technologies like SwiftUI and ARKit (or similar).
• Familiar with rapid prototyping techniques, including AI‑assisted ("vibe") coding, "Wizard of Oz" methods, and embedded systems (Arduino).
• Experience building applications involving AI and foundation models, including prompting and fine‑tuning LLMs and working with MCP‑based systems.
• Quick to learn new tools and techniques.
