iPhone Touch Sensing Architect

About the role

The goal of the iPhone Touch Sensing Technology team is to enable the world’s best User Experiences through innovative sensing solutions. The team crafts, develops, and delivers high-precision, low-latency MultiTouch solutions that are the gold standard in the smartphone/mobile industries. As a Touch Sensing Architect, you’ll play an integral role in conceiving, modeling, prototyping and integrating new sensor solutions for the iPhone. New challenges arise every day that require innovation across several technical teams, including EE, Math, Physics, and Algorithms. Come join us in delivering technology from proof-of-concept through ultra-high-volume production! Our team features a collaborative and hands-on environment that cultivates engineering excellence and creativity.

You will play a key role in the architecture, integration, and launch of next-generation touch sensing technologies. Your responsibilities will include: - Develop key figures of merit critical to performance and author requirement specifications - Develop end-to-end models capturing sensor, circuits, DSP, and algorithms to predict key figures of merit and inform technical decisions - Develop tools, scripts, and infrastructure to enable scalable modeling - Sensor design, ASIC application design, system-level integration and bring-up - Analyze and reconcile build data with model predictions - Perform failure analysis, identify root causes and propose corrective actions - Provide clear technical updates to broader team and leadership

Deep understanding of physics, analog circuits, linear algebra.
Experience in modeling, building and testing sophisticated, multi-physics systems.
Proficiency in MATLAB, SPICE, COMSOL or similar packages.
Hands-on experience in system-level design, architecture, characterization and validation.
Ability to thrive in ambiguity, independently converge technical issues, and align efforts across teams.
Excellent communication, teamwork, and leadership skills.
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

Experience with high-volume mass production is a plus.
