Why Apple? We live in a mobile and device-driven world where knowledge of the physical world around us is needed. We rely on this knowledge to get around, to learn about our environment, and to enable spectacular new features for custom applications. Apple is meeting those needs as robustly and as creatively as possible and is interested in people who want to help meet that commitment. The success we are striving for will be the result of very skilled people working in an environment which cultivates creativity, partnership, and thinking of old problems in new ways. If that sounds like the kind of environment that you find intriguing, then let's talk. These elements come together to make Apple an amazing environment for motivated people to do the greatest work of their lives. You will become part of a team that sets the standard in fostering excellence, creativity, and innovation. Will you help us design the next generation of revolutionary Apple products? The Laser Engineering Team in Camera Semiconductor Devices (CSD) team is responsible for all research, design, development, test, and qualification of core laser technologies being used in Face ID and LIDAR scanner for Apple products. As a key member of the Laser Engineering Team, you will be responsible for leading the laser component development by transforming the laser design concept into laser products ready for high-volume mass production.
Bachelor’s degree in physics, electrical engineering, or a similar discipline with 3+ years of working epitaxy (EPI)/process experience. Experience working on several projects transferred from engineering development phase to high-volume production.
MS/PhD in physics, electrical engineering, or a similar discipline. 10+ years of industry experience on device design, fab process, or process integration experience for III-V optoelectronics devices such as VCSEL, LEDs, edge-emitting lasers, photonic-crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSEL). Epitaxy (Epi) growth background on III-V optoelectronics devices is a strong plus. Excellent data analysis and problem-solving skills. Strong product engineering experience such as data analysis (JMP) and writing scripts for data inquiry is strongly preferred. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and strong team spirit. Ability to work closely with others in a very cross-functional team environment.

Apple designs and sells consumer electronics, from iPhone smartphones and Mac computers to tablets and wearable devices. Its operating systems manage apps and built-in functions for communication and work, while iCloud stores files and synchronizes data across devices. Customers buy additional digital services through subscriptions such as Apple Music and Apple TV, and developers distribute software through the App Store. Apple earns money from hardware sales, subscriptions and digital transactions, selling directly to customers and through retailers and mobile carriers around the world. It was founded in 1976 and has its headquarters in Cupertino, California.
