Job description

The Vision Product Group at Apple is seeking a Sensing Systems Engineer to contribute to the architecture of next-generation AI hardware for augmented and mixed reality devices. This role involves designing and analyzing sensing system concepts while collaborating with various teams to optimize product design. The engineer will focus on the integration of cameras, motion sensors, and other technologies to enhance user experience. A strong understanding of sensor technology and system-level requirements is essential for success in this position.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in a relevant field such as Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics.
  • 5+ years of work experience in system design, integration, and productization in Consumer Electronics, Medical, or Aerospace industries.
  • Proficiency in one or more areas of sensor technology and sensor processing methodologies used in optics, camera, and motion sensing.
  • Proficiency in statistical concepts and expertise in data analysis tools.
  • PhD degree in a relevant field is preferred.
  • Hands-on knowledge of computer vision, signal processing, and machine learning concepts.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the definition of sensing system concepts for augmented and mixed reality devices.
  • Explore the design space of sensor constellations and frame system-level trades.
  • Collaborate with sensor module, hardware, product design, algorithm, and user experience teams.
  • Optimize product design in terms of size, cost, power, and performance.
  • Communicate complex trades related to sensing strategy and user experience.

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.
