Job description

We are looking for research scientists and engineers with expertise in mechatronics, controls, haptics, robotics, simulation, and machine learning to innovate in intelligent robotic systems. This hands-on role involves integrating software and hardware solutions to enhance perception, control, and intelligence. You will collaborate with top-tier researchers and engineers, contributing to technologies that enrich the Apple ecosystem. Our team values passion, modesty, and lean habits to foster innovation and productivity.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of relevant experience developing electromechanical, robotic, tactile, or haptic systems.
  • Experience with sensing, actuation, controls, or system integration in robotics.
  • Experience designing and executing experimental validation activities.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Advanced degree in Robotics, Mechatronics, Controls, or a related field.
  • Experience with tactile sensing or haptics in robotic systems.
  • Experience with tactile sensor design, characterization, or signal processing.
  • Experience with a wide range of actuation technologies.
  • Experience bringing complex hardware-software systems from prototype to production.

Responsibilities

  • Drive breakthrough innovations in intelligent robotic systems.
  • Integrate software and hardware solutions to enhance system capabilities.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers to develop new technologies.
  • Conduct experimental validation activities to test system performance.
  • Work within multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals.

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.
