The Motion Sensing Hardware Team at Apple focuses on integrating MEMS and magnetic sensing technologies to enhance user interaction across products. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture of motion sensing systems, ensuring high-performance capabilities from concept to manufacturing. The role emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and the creation of patents to drive product design. You will work on state-of-the-art sensors and define comprehensive validation plans to ensure product excellence.

• BS degree with a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Practical understanding of motion sensors including magnetic, inertial, and pressure types.
• Experience in architecture and system-level design of sensing systems.
• PhD with 5+ years of hands-on experience in shipping motion sensor products.
• Experience in architecture, design, characterization, and validation of MEMS sensing systems.
• Deep understanding of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, transducer physics, and system engineering principles.
• Proficiency in modeling, simulation, and analysis tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, MATLAB, and Python.
• Experience in sensor placement optimization through modeling within product-level constraints.
• Strong fundamentals in signal processing, probability, and statistics.
• Experience defining and executing validation plans from characterization through production readiness.

• Own the end-to-end sensing system architecture from transducer physics through signal chain and algorithm.
• Drive the feature roadmap and define feature requirements for motion sensing capabilities.
• Build and validate quantitative end-to-end models capturing the full signal chain.
• Own sensor integration into the product system and optimize sensor placement.
• Define comprehensive validation plans and execute them rigorously.
• Generate high-quality reports to communicate results, risks, and recommendations to leadership.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure sensor placement meets performance, mechanical, and manufacturing constraints.

• 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.
