Job description

The Sensor Technology Team at Apple is seeking a talented individual to develop cutting-edge sensing solutions for products like the iPhone and Apple Watch. This role involves participating in the entire development process, from proof-of-concept to product launch. The team focuses on delivering the best user experience through innovative engineering and problem-solving. Candidates should thrive in a dynamic environment that values creativity and technical excellence.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Strong understanding of electrical elements (R, L, C) fundamentals, Opamp circuits, and signal processing.
  • Good grasp of Newtonian physics and Electromagnetism.
  • Familiarity with PCB design and layout.
  • MS and PhD from a relevant field.
  • Strong background in board-level analog and mixed-signal circuits and/or embedded systems.
  • Proficiency in simulation tools such as COMSOL/SPICE, scripting languages like Python/MATLAB, and statistical analysis software like JMP.
  • Proficiency in leveraging AI-assisted tools to enhance programming, scripting, and simulation workflows.
  • Excellent critical analysis, statistical analysis, and logic/reasoning skills.
  • Excellent written/verbal communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
  • Direct experience with sensor design and integration.
  • Cross-functional experience in a high-volume production environment.
  • Background and experience with automation for test and characterization.

Responsibilities

  • Lead development of sensing solutions from conception through product release.
  • Propose, design, build, and measure prototype sensing solutions that demonstrate architecture feasibility.
  • Analyze design trade-offs and provide final design recommendations.
  • Design schematics and provide layout constraints for PCBs/FPCs.
  • Define calibration, test, and reliability requirements across the sensing-system supply chain.
  • Develop test and characterization software and scripts for verification.
  • Analyze engineering build data and assess process capability.
  • Perform failure mode analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and technical problem-solving.
  • Characterize, test, and verify sensing solutions.
  • Author clear and comprehensive hardware specifications and engineering build documentation.
  • Engage and collaborate with internal cross-functional teams to deliver state-of-the-art sensing solutions.
  • Manage external partners and suppliers, including providing engineering guidance on failure analysis and corrective actions.
  • Author executive communications pertaining to key development checkpoints.
  • Travel internationally to support product development.

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.
