Optical Sensing HW - Optical Engineer (Laser/LED Sensing)


Apple Inc.


Location

Cupertino, CA | United States


Job description

Design, develop, and launch next-generation light-sensing technologies. Bring devices to life and enable them to interact with users and the environment in ways never envisioned before. The optical sensing team designs and integrates sensors across a variety of Apple products such as iPhone, Watch, iPad, MacBook and Vision. The team is looking for a driven engineer to develop creative ideas and grow them into rigorous solutions. Experience with optics, optical sensor and system design, and optical test and metrology is required. Join us in crafting solutions the world doesn't know of yet.

Key Qualifications

Description

- Design and execution of optical sensors, including building simulations / models, model verification, sensor prototyping including interface of optical sensors with mixed signal electronic circuits, and test and metrology strategies for manufacturing optical sensors. - Hands-on design and bring-up of characterization setups. Establish design verification goals and instrumentation requirements, develop and implement detailed characterization plans, and prioritize activities and next steps. Support verification of production test via electrical / optical design reviews and lab correlation measurements. - Simulation/analysis using a variety of software tools to support design verification and characterization (e.g. Python, Matlab, Zemax, LightTools, JMP, etc.) Develop detailed models to resolve SNR link budgets, and electrical and optical system integration requirements. - Collaborate with multi-functional teams to deliver innovative sensing solutions. Drive technical activities and discussions with external vendors. - Lead hypothesis-driven failure analysis, root-cause diagnosis, and system-level problem solving to provide design feedback. Analyze data to draw conclusions and improve product design/manufacturability. - Travel to support design/production/supplier teams as necessary. Business travel to support product development (10%).

Education & Experience

- BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant proven experience
