Role Number: 200655190-0836

Summary

Design, develop, and launch next-generation optical-sensing technologies. The optical sensing team integrates optical sensors across a variety of Apple products such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. The optical sensing team is looking for someone to develop models and algorithms to describe complex interactions between optical systems. Strong numerical simulation skills and optics knowledge is required. Join us in crafting solutions the world doesn't know of yet.

Description

You will be developing numerical algorithms that enable the integration of optical sensors into our products. You will be expected to characterize complex optical/electrical interactions and develop models to describe their behavior. You will develop algorithms based on those models, and collaborate with cross-functional teams (including Optical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, and Hardware Test Engineering) to integrate those algorithms into the calibration and operation of our products’ state-of-the-art sensing solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Experience with optical simulation and characterization of optical sensors

  • Strong mathematical/numerical simulation skills, including programming in MATLAB, Python, or similar

  • BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant proven experience

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience developing calibration algorithms for optical systems

  • Knowledge of display technology and/or Electrical Engineering

  • Experience with optical lab equipment (spectrometers, detector, oscilloscope, etc.) and lab experiments

  • Excellent documentation skills

  • MS or PhD in Optics, Physics, Math, or Electrical Engineering
