Description

We are looking for a resourceful engineer and architect to develop next-generation sensing HW systems on Apple's innovative devices. You will be responsible for architecting the end-to-end sensing system - including sensor, ASIC requirements, back-end algorithms and calibration needs. You will be delivering an architecture package backed by extensive modeling and simulations that allows the HW teams to execute and build robust, power- and area-optimized sensing systems at scale. As an architect, you will help the HW teams accelerate progress by adding clarity to ambiguous design spaces, independently converging technical issues, and aligning efforts across teams.

Responsibilities

• Modeling - Building comprehensive sensor models that capture the entire signal chain: physical, electrical, and algorithmic, to streamline algorithm prototyping and guarantee performance in high-volume production
• System engineering - Defining key figures of merit, setting specifications, and authoring requirements specifications for the entire sensor-system-tree to guarantee the customer experience
• Design Analysis - First-principles based analysis to better understand design tradeoffs in our sensor designs and efficiently intuit optimal solutions
• CoEx Management - Co-architect and assess design tradeoffs with partner teams like display, wireless charging, and product design, to ensure best-possible performance for the entire product
• Innovation - Identifying novel sensing architectures and similar opportunities to significantly impact performance
• Technical Communication - Presentation of architectures and results to cross-functional engineering partners

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience
• Degree in one of these fields: Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering .

Preferred Qualifications

• M.S. / Ph.D. with relevant project or coursework experience designing sensing systems
• Deep understanding of electrical engineering, transducer physics, and system engineering
• Experience in modeling complex multi-physics and electrical systems
• Block level circuit simulation experience
• Signal processing techniques, both analog and digital
• Basics of linear algebra, probability, and statistics
• Proficiency in MATLAB or equivalent packages
• Experience in leveraging AIML technologies to create scripts and frameworks for enhanced efficiency
• Software architecture best practices for complicated tool flows
• Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership skills
