Touch/Force/Motion Hardware - Sensing System Architect
The Sensing Architecture team is a multi-disciplinary team that develops state-of-the-art technologies and sensor modules across Apple's product portfolio, including iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more. We architect sensing systems that allow valuable user interactions with Apple products while enabling system and display roadmaps.
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
