Job description

The role is for an experienced electrical engineer focused on the next generation of Touch ID sensor designs. The Sensing Systems team develops various sensors that enhance user interaction with Apple products. The engineer will be responsible for making critical technical decisions that impact millions of users. This position involves defining module architectures and solving complex integration challenges throughout the product development cycle.

Requirements

  • Strong analog circuit design fundamentals with experience owning designs through full product development cycles
  • Proficiency with circuit simulation (SPICE) and lab debug
  • Proficiency with MATLAB, Python, or similar for analysis and automation
  • BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
  • Track record of leading technical discussions and driving alignment across disciplines
  • Experience with capacitive or biometric sensing systems
  • Experience with flexible PCB design and signal/power integrity analysis
  • Proficiency with statistical analysis tools (JMP, Tableau) for data-driven design decisions
  • Familiarity with FEA/simulation tools (COMSOL, ANSYS, Maxwell)
  • Experience creating engineering specifications and translating system requirements into circuit implementations
  • Experience influencing silicon or ASIC requirements from a system perspective

Responsibilities

  • Define module architectures and drive circuit design tradeoffs
  • Solve integration challenges that do not have obvious answers
  • Influence silicon requirements and shape system-level decisions
  • Own technical strategy from concept through mass production
  • Investigate issues and propose solutions that balance performance, power, manufacturability, and schedule
  • Lead technical discussions with cross-functional partners
  • Present recommendations to executives and drive alignment

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
