Full-time
Posted 10d ago
~40 hrs/week
Responsibilities
The role involves designing software to explore new hardware possibilities and inventing features for future products. You will express ideas through various media including code, video, animation, and static visual artifacts.
Requirements
The position is open to candidates with any background or experience level who can demonstrate their ideas through design work. Key requirements include the ability to communicate effectively, accept feedback, and show initiative in creating new concepts.
Full job description
Prototyping is an exploratory design team. We design software to explore what new hardware might bring to our current and future products. It is our job to invent and propose new features and sometimes entirely new products. Over the past decade we have incubated products like iPad, Pencil, and Apple TV Siri Remote. We pioneered force and haptics for Multi-Touch track-pads, iPhone, and Apple Watch. We were instrumental in the interface design and development of multi-camera systems, LiDAR, True-Depth, Face ID, Animoji, and depth photography. We express our ideas through pictures, animation, video and code.
Description
We do not want to hire more people like the people already on the team. We are looking for someone to add something special. We are open to people with any background and any amount of experience. It does not matter to us what tool you use or what medium you work in. We are interested in your ideas and how you express them. We do not expect you to be able to do all of these things. If you have any of these capabilities, we would like to hear from you.
- Visual Design. Create static visual communication artifacts. Important aspects are form, color, alignment, type, and layout. Illustrated or rendered. You will make things with aesthetic breadth beyond the Apple style.
- Animation. Use motion in a complementary and tasteful way to direct attention and describe interactions. You will create motion that strike a balance between artful how it feels, and practical what it communicates.
- Prototyping. Make something people can try with taps, swipes, or clicks. Not necessarily an app, whatever communicates an idea.
- Interaction. Design new affordances and capabilities that are discoverable, easy to perform, and provide clear feedback. You pay attention to how everything you make responds before, during, and after interaction.
Minimum Qualifications
Pictures or videos of design work you can share.
Preferred Qualifications
Communication. You can explain your work to people from different disciplines using different media. You provide constructive feedback. You encourage dialogue and inclusion.
Open. You accept feedback on your work and act on it. You are willing to try anything – even things you don’t believe in.
Reliable. You do what you say you will do, when you said you would do it. When things change, you tell people.
Invention. Unexpected ideas and solutions. Inspiration and techniques from other fields or disciplines.
Initiative. Ideas and concepts no one asked for. You just jump in and make things. You do not wait for instructions or need permission.
Divergence. You try multiple approaches and learn from them before deciding what to do next. Willing to share concepts that might challenge or displease. Willing to keep unpopular options alive to see where they go.
We’re a diverse collective of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. And the same innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. This is where your work can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own.
