The Motion Sensing Hardware Team at Apple focuses on integrating motion sensors to enhance user interaction across products. As a member of this team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end architecture of motion sensing systems, including magnetic, inertial, and pressure sensors. Your work will involve defining feature requirements, developing system specifications, and ensuring sensor integration meets performance and manufacturing constraints. This role emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and the creation of exceptional user experiences through advanced sensing technologies.

• BS degree and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
• Practical understanding of motion sensors including magnetic, inertial, and pressure types.
• Experience in architecture and system-level design of sensing systems.
• PhD with 5+ years of hands-on experience in shipping motion sensor products.
• Experience in architecture, design, characterization, and validation of MEMS sensing systems.
• Deep understanding of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, transducer physics, and system engineering principles.
• Proficiency in modeling, simulation, and analysis tools such as ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, MATLAB, Python, and JMP.
• Experience in sensor placement optimization through modeling within product-level constraints.
• Strong fundamentals in signal processing, probability, and statistics.
• Experience defining and executing validation plans from characterization through production readiness.
• Experience building and testing complex multi-physics systems.

• Own the end-to-end sensing system architecture from transducer physics through signal chain and algorithm.
• Drive the feature roadmap and define feature requirements for motion sensing capabilities.
• Systematically decompose feature requirements into system requirements and sensor module specifications.
• Build and validate quantitative end-to-end models capturing the full signal chain.
• Ensure sensor specifications guarantee feature-level performance.
• Leverage modeling and simulation to optimize sensor placement within product constraints.
• Define comprehensive validation plans and execute them rigorously.
• Generate high-quality reports to communicate results, risks, and recommendations to leadership.
