**Role Number:** 200653703-3337 **Summary** Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible - all while staying connected to the people around us. **Description** In the Systems Engineer role, you will be directly responsible for all parts of a system or sub-system, figuring out how these components work together to deliver an amazing user experience within Apple Vision products. You will be involved in conceptualizing and proposing hardware and software implementation approaches for user-facing features, defining comprehensive specification trees, and performing detailed error budget analyses. Your responsibilities will include working with various cross-functional partners to assign budgets and making data-driven trade-offs across design, process, and calibration aspects to deliver a system that meets all product use case requirements. This is an extremely cross-functional role where you will collaborate closely with experts from diverse domains including Product Design, Electrical Engineering (EE), System Architecture, Calibration, Algorithms, and Reliability to bring groundbreaking experiences to life. **Minimum Qualifications** + MS in a relevant field (EE, physics, systems engineering, mechatronics, CS) + 6+ years of work experience in a product-based company, focusing on system engineering or similar role + Hands-on experience in defining system-level specifications for complex hardware and software components + Strong system-level thinking with a demonstrated ability to decompose complex architectures and ambiguous problems in well-defined, manageable components, interfaces, and requirements + Proficiency in analyzing system trade-offs (e.g., performance, power, thermal, cost, form factor, manufacturability) to achieve optimal solutions based on product requirements + Experience in designing spec trees, performing spec decomposition, and conduct error budget analyses applying statistical methods and models + Proficiency in system modeling, simulation, and data analysis using tools such as MATLAB or Python to predict performance, validate design choices, and simplify complex system understanding. + Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to present highly technical topics and deep dives to leadership teams. **Preferred Qualifications** + PhD in a relevant field (EE, physics, systems engineering, mechatronics, CS) + 8+ years of relevant work experience, with significant portion in consumer products or complex electro-optical systems development + Deep understanding of the interplay between various sub-systems (e.g., optics, displays, cameras, computer vision algorithms, sensors) and their collective impact on overall user experience and system performance in immersive products. + Experience with the full product development lifecycle, from initial concept and architecture through to mass production. + Demonstrated expertise in one or more relevant sub-system domains (e.g., advanced display technologies, optical systems, sensor integration, computer vision pipelines for interaction).
