Job description

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.

Description

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.

Minimum Qualifications

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

Preferred Qualifications

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
