Description
You will be responsible for integration of state-of-the-art motion sensors into various Apple products. Core responsibilities include:Evaluate and drive sensor design, technology investigation, manufacturing process development, and system integration.Diagnose engineering issues with true scientific method driving to definitive root cause.Identify, create, and document new sensing system metrics that deliver performance and improvement to customer perception.Work cross-functionally to identify and specify critical performance parameters and error sensitivities.Develop measurement methods and equipment that are repeatable, reproducible, and automated as appropriate to enable thorough validation coverage of sensors on tight development schedules.Support engineering build activities with performance validation measurements, yield optimization, and failure analysis coordination.Work with suppliers to proactively identify and resolve issues of matching to our specs. Analyze trade-offs among performance, manufacturability, size, schedule and cost.Travel to supplier facilities and manufacturing sites for production validation and issues resolution.Author high quality and thorough engineering requirements specifications for sensors.Prepare and deliver presentations to clearly communicate technical status, risks and mitigation strategies for ongoing sensing system programs.
Minimum Qualifications
- BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Practical understanding of magnetic sensors is required. Understanding of MEMS based motion sensors (inertial and pressure sensors) is desired.
- Strong fundamentals in sensors and hands on experience on integrating sensor into product.
- Experience in architecture, design, characterization and validation of sensing systems that includes theory of operation, signal processing, and design trade off.
- Proficiency in instrumentation/modeling/analysis scripting language like Matlab/python.
- Excellent critical analysis, statistical analysis, and logic/problem solving skills.
