Designs phones, computers and their operating systems
The Apple Advanced Technologies Group is looking for a motivated electrical engineer to drive the design of next generation touch sensors. Our group’s objective is to enable the delivery of world class user experiences Apple products are famous for. We achieve this objective through the design and integration of high-precision, low-latency multi-touch and stylus sensors across several product lines. As Apple products are continually evolving, we consistently face complex multi-disciplinary problems spanning such areas as: - Circuit Analysis - Electro-magnetics - DSP - Algorithm Development - Material Science - Manufacturing logistics Overcoming these problems requires creativity, sharp problem-solving skills, and strong EE fundamentals.
Strong analog/mixed-signal/electro-magnetic fundamentals Proficiency in FEA (Comsol, ANSYS, Maxwell), MATLAB, Python, SPICE, or similar simulation and modeling tools BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
Hands-on experience with system-level design Excellent written and verbal communication skills Solid teamwork and leadership skills Ph.D or Masters degree in electrical engineering (or related field)
As a Touch Sensor Electrical Design & Integration Engineer, you will own the design and implementation of touch sensors, build models to understand key tradeoffs, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver sensor module solutions.
Design of sensor modules, including electro-magnetic modeling and circuit modeling Support of End-to-End system definition and development (sensor, signal processing, ASIC performance, algorithm development) Scoping of new sensor technologies and support of proof-of-concept investigations Collaboration with several different technology teams to evaluate system design options and trade-offs Review and define algorithms for signal and noise conditioning requirements Optimization of designs across multidisciplinary boundaries (Mechanical, materials, process, algorithms, calibration, testing, reliability, factory operations) Performing failure-mode analysis and root-cause analysis using system-level problem solving and statistical data analysis Support of new product definition through engineering analysis, market surveys and competitive analysis Business travel to support product development
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.
