Job title: Performance QA Engineer, iPad Media

Description: The Media Systems team is looking for a software quality engineer with a strong technical background to test still, video and audio capture and playback frameworks. Build on your QA experience and knowledge of digital camera technology (still and video) to develop and maintain testing frameworks for both capture and playback pipelines…Experience with tuning of and image pipeline, including, but not limited to AWB, Color Correction, AutoExposure, FrameRate adjustments is a plus.

Previously here on Crenk we have shown you images that a forward facing camera is coming to the next generation iPad, but now it has been completely confirmed by Apple.

Let’s think about September, when the iPod touch gets a camera and the iPad gets OS 4.0 with all of those Video Chat features. An iPad without a camera is going to seem like a pretty silly proposition, isn’t it?
