Camera Calibration and Test Engineer

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build service we create or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each others ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world changing lives for the better. Its the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in we can do the best work of our lives. Here youll do more than join something youll add you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience should work As part of our Camera Technologies group youll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. Youll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems from sensor to lens. Youll collaborate with teams across Apple to research design develop test and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together well craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their Camera Calibration and Test team plays a pivotal role in upholding product quality across all of Apples products with built-in cameras which includes iPhones iPads MacBooks Mac Displays and Apple Vision Pro! Their primary functions are to manage the camera calibration and test coverage at module integrators and VCM vendors to ensure they meet the companys high-quality standards. This role offers a great opportunity for individuals with a passion for camera technology and a desire to make a positive impact on the quality of cameras on Apple products!

In this role you will manage vendors and projects overseeing all aspects of test maturity preparation and setting priorities for Module Integrators (MI). This role is expected to participate proactively in post-build FACA activities along with working with MIs to implement improvements including enhancing tester UPH retest rates and efficiency. nnThis role is seeking an individual who enjoys engaging with a broad spectrum of technical areas rather than diving deeply into a single niche domain. These areas may include: CMOS image sensor test high-speed data link signal integrity I2C and driver operation VCM actuation lens quality close-loop performance and position sensor calibration effectiveness.

Facilitate collaboration with multi-functional groups at Apple such as position sensing image sensor mechanical design EE and OPS teams to explore and define test coverage. Typical test coverage includes but not limited to SFR test VCM and OIS calibration Open-short test electrical noise color calibrations dark noises and distortion with MIs and vendors to design and implement cost-effective test hardware and software solutions. nSupervise MIs on the preparation and progress of manufacture as well as perform qualification and checks to ensure the solutions are approved. These tasks require an engineer who is ardently meticulous. nTraveling to MIs in Asia on as needed basis for periods of 2 weeks at a time.

Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Science Mechanical Engineering Physics Color Science Imaging Science or related in at least 1 of the following domains: (CMOS Image Sensor Test or Validation Lens quality analysis and testing ATE VCM Actuation and position sensor calibration and test Image quality analysis or Data analysis and visualization).

3 years of relevant industry -language skills in Korean Japanese or Mandarin Chinese are a notable to perform assignments at both a theoretical high-level as well as practical detailed-level (concrete).nProficiency in managing a team of vendor members for specific tasks and experience hosting cross-time zone meetings with a focus on accommodating ESL participants. Working with MIs to validate and buy off test software and in breaking down complex assignments into manageable executable tasks. nKnowledge in reviewing mechanical and electrical designs for sockets fixtures and test systems along with the ability to solve related issues. nCapable of reviewing and modifying source codes in MATLAB/ data analysis knowledge and experience.
