Touch Sensor Electrical Design & Integration Engineer

The Touch Sensor Electrical Design & Integration Engineer will own the design and implementation of touch sensors, build models to understand key tradeoffs, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver sensor module solutions.

• Design of sensor modules, including electro-magnetic modeling and circuit modeling
• Support of End-to-End system definition and development (sensor, signal processing, ASIC performance, algorithm development)
• Scoping of new sensor technologies and support of proof-of-concept investigations
• Collaboration with several different technology teams to evaluate system design options and trade-offs
• Review and define algorithms for signal and noise conditioning requirements
• Optimization of designs across multidisciplinary boundaries (Mechanical, materials, process, algorithms, calibration, testing, reliability, factory operations)
• Performing failure-mode analysis and root-cause analysis using system-level problem solving and statistical data analysis
• Support of new product definition through engineering analysis, market surveys and competitive analysis
• Business travel to support product development

• Strong analog/mixed-signal/electro-magnetic fundamentals
• Ph.D or Masters degree in electrical engineering (or related field)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Solid teamwork and leadership skills
• Hands-on experience with system-level design
• Proficiency in FEA (Comsol, ANSYS, Maxwell), MATLAB, Python, SPICE, or similar simulation and modeling tools

• Design and integration of high-precision, low-latency multi-touch and stylus sensors
• Collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver sensor module solutions
• Optimization of designs across multidisciplinary boundaries
• Performing failure-mode analysis and root-cause analysis using system-level problem solving and statistical data analysis

The Apple Advanced Technologies Group is looking for a motivated electrical engineer to drive the design of next generation touch sensors.
