Apple is seeking a highly skilled Camera Design Engineer Architect to lead the electrical architecture definition and system integration of next-generation camera modules. This role focuses on architecting the complete electrical signal chain from image sensor to SoC ISP, ensuring industry-leading imaging performance across Apple's product portfolio. The ideal candidate will have deep electrical engineering expertise and extensive knowledge in mixed-signal design and camera subsystem architecture. The position requires hands-on involvement throughout the product lifecycle, driving collaboration with various teams to ensure architectural intent is maintained from concept to mass production.

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Experience in electrical architecture, mixed-signal design, or camera/imaging subsystem development for consumer electronics
• Experience defining or designing camera subsystems including image sensor interfacing, actuator drivers, and low-noise power delivery
• Experience with high-speed serial interface design including signal integrity analysis and channel simulation
• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering or relevant field and 10+ years relevant industry experience
• Ability to lead EVT/DVT/PVT bring-up and resolve line-down or yield-impacting issues
• Working knowledge of imaging and interface standards and specifications
• Experience with camera factory testing equipment and imaging validation methods
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams
• Experience with statistical analysis tools and methodologies applied to electrical characterization and yield engineering

• Lead the end-to-end electrical architecture definition for next-generation camera modules
• Define power delivery networks, high-speed interface topologies, and control-plane architectures
• Drive pre-silicon architecture studies with SoC ISP and PMIC teams
• Define board-level schematic and layout guidelines for camera subsystems
• Ensure architectural intent is preserved from concept through mass production
• Lead cross-functional design reviews and technical trade studies
• Respond to bring-up and validation issues with deep debug of high-speed signaling and power integrity
• Drive systematic root cause analysis on architectural gaps discovered during EVT/DVT/PVT phases
• Serve as a technical bridge between image sensor suppliers, SoC design teams, and module mechanical designers
