The Sensing Systems team integrates optical, capacitive, MEMS, and magnetic sensors across a variety of Apple products such as the Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and more. Bring devices to life and enable them to interact with users and the environment in ways never invented before. Join us in crafting solutions the world doesn't know of yet. The Watch Touch team is looking for electrical engineers with analog, board-level design experience and is a hard-working go-getter. Experience with capacitive front-ends, touch sensors, analog circuits, and basic electrostatics is strongly desired.
You will design, develop, and launch next-generation touch sensing technologies. You will analyze data to draw conclusions, enhance product design and manufacturability, and drive failure analysis. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams - including Mechanical Engineers, Process Engineers, Reliability Engineers, Test Engineers, and Software Engineers-to deliver state-of-the-art sensing.
Design and develop the touch sensing system
System-level prototyping, integration, characterization and end-to-end validation
Schematic design of boards and flexible assemblies
Conduct failure mode analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and system-level problem-solving; execute engineering builds and drive cross-functional communication to enhance product design and manufacturability
Business travel up to 10% as required
Electrical engineering background in analog and mixed-signal system-level circuit design, sensor design, modeling, or analog circuit simulations experiences
Hands-on experience with board-level circuit design and lab equipment (microscopes, detector, light sources etc)
Scripting experience for data analysis and automation
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
Touch Sensor and systems integration experience preferred
Experience in COMSOL, SPICE, or similar simulation and modeling tools
Experience supporting volume manufacturing, including test design, failure analysis, and statistical
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and solid collaboration and leadership skills
Strong teamwork abilities and self-motivation to tackle technical challenges
MS or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering
We’re a diverse collection of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, as well as with services, including iTunes, the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple Pay. And the same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant. Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be, no matter what your team or your role. So bring your passion, courage, and original thinking and get ready to share it, because every new product, service, or feature we invent is the result of people working together to make each others’ ideas stronger. Innovation at this level depends on people who represent the variety of the human experience and inspire us with their own fresh perspectives. Together, we’ll do amazing work that can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own. Learn more about working at Apple.
