Job Description

Motion sensors serve as a bridge between the physical and digital realms, facilitating seamless user interaction and motion features. The Motion Sensing Hardware Team at Apple is entrusted with the responsibility of integrating MEMS and magnetic sensing technologies across its product portfolio. This team comprises a collaborative environment that fosters creativity, intelligence, and state-of-the-art technologies. Engineering excellence and meticulous attention to detail are highly valued and encouraged. Invention and patent creation are supported, aiming to revolutionize product design and manufacturing by introducing innovative technologies and exceptional user experiences.\\n\\nAs a member of the Motion Sensing Hardware Team, you will play a pivotal role in defining, developing, characterizing, and validating motion sensing systems. Your expertise should encompass sensor technologies with an emphasis on system integration, sensing technology, and performance metrics. You will be responsible for integration of state-of-the-art motion sensors (magnetic, inertial, and pressure) into various Apple products, requiring understanding of sensor architecture, characterization, and validation from concept through manufacturing. You will define sensing system metrics, develop measurement methods, and work cross-functionally to ensure system performance meets feature requirements. The position also demands strong analytical and communication skills to engage with suppliers, troubleshoot complex engineering issues, and align efforts across teams. BS in related discipline and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.\nExperience in motion sensors (magnetic, inertial, pressure) and relevant physics. PhD in physics or engineering related fields/MS with 2+ years of hands-on experience and proven track record in shipping products.\nStrong fundamentals in sensors and experience on integrating sensor into product, connecting user-level requirements to component-level requirements.\nExperience in architecture, design, characterization and validation of sensing systems that includes theory of operation, signal processing, and design trade offs.\nProficiency in instrumentation/modeling/analysis scripting language like Matlab/Python.\nExcellent critical analysis, statistical analysis, and logic/problem solving skills. Competency in signal processing, sensor fusion, machine learning and mathematical modeling is an asset.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills and solid collaboration and leadership skills.\nExperience developing models to simulate the use of or performance of a sensor. Proficiency in designing and running FEA or Monte-Carlo simulations is beneficial.\nMulti-disciplinary understanding of EE, ME, and Physics principles. Experience in modeling complex cross-disciplinary systems or delivering related prototypes is a plus.
