The Camera Systems Engineering Group at Apple is focused on developing advanced camera technology, including systems for calibration and correction to ensure high image quality. The team is looking for a skilled Camera System Controls Engineer to contribute to the design and development of next-generation camera systems. This role involves working on various aspects of control systems, including requirements determination, systems-level analysis, and prototype development. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in control theory and experience with real-time control implementations.

• BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Control Systems, or a related technical field.
• Experience in dynamic modeling, control theory, and/or state-space analysis including feedback control design.
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for control system design and/or real-time control system implementation.
• MS/PhD in Control Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with a focus on control system design and implementation.
• Experience with estimation theory, Kalman filtering, and state-space modeling.
• Experience with real-time control implementation using microcontrollers, DSP processors, and embedded C/C++ programming.
• Experience with autofocus control systems, optical image stabilization, inertial stabilization, precision positioning systems, or machine learning/computer vision algorithms for camera controls.
• Experience with actuator control including Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), Piezoelectric (PZT), voice coil motors, or MEMS devices.
• Experience with test equipment including dynamic signal analyzers, oscilloscopes, and frequency response analyzers.
• Experience with multidisciplinary engineering teams and the ability to take ownership of complex problems.

• Determine requirements and specifications for control systems.
• Conduct systems-level analysis and modeling of control systems.
• Develop robust control strategies for camera systems.
• Guide the design and construction of prototypes to assess user impact.
• Define tests and procedures for evaluating control systems.
• Document requirements and rationale for design decisions.
