The Motion Sensing Hardware team at Apple is seeking a Module Test Instrumentation & Automation Engineer to design and develop electronic hardware and software for sensor characterization. This role involves creating custom test instrumentation that enhances the team's ability to evaluate inertial, pressure, and magnetic sensors. The engineer will work on schematic design, PCB layout, and software integration to ensure precise and reliable sensor performance. Candidates should possess strong electrical engineering fundamentals and software development skills to contribute to innovative sensing technologies.

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• A minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing schematics and reviewing PCB layouts for analog, mixed-signal or precision measurement applications.
• Proficiency with industry-standard schematic capture tools such as Altium Designer or Cadence.
• Strong analog design fundamentals including signal conditioning, filtering, and power supply design for precision measurement.
• Familiarity with common sensor communication interfaces like I2C, SPI, and UART.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation and data collection scripting.
• Firmware development experience in C/C++ for embedded microcontrollers.
• Experience with FPGA development using Verilog or VHDL.
• Familiarity with MEMS sensor operation and signal chain requirements.

• Design the electronic hardware and supporting software for sensor characterization.
• Oversee schematic design and PCB layout for precision measurement applications.
• Develop software interfaces that connect custom test hardware to automation tools.
• Ensure hardware choices meet accuracy and throughput demands for sensor characterization.
• Collaborate with firmware and embedded software engineers for dedicated firmware requirements.
• Maintain rigorous attention to signal integrity and measurement accuracy.
• Document hardware designs clearly and collaborate across hardware, firmware, and software disciplines.
• Develop hardware abstraction layers or SDK-style interfaces for firmware reuse.
• Participate in consumer electronics product development cycles, including hardware bring-up phases.
