TouchForceMotion Hardware Sensing System Architect

The Sensing Architecture team is a multi-disciplinary team that develops state-of-the-art technologies and sensor modules across Apples 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.

We are looking for a resourceful engineer and architect to develop next-generation sensing HW systems on Apples 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.
