About The Position

We are looking for a Display Engineer for the development of Displays for iPhone products. This individual will be collaborating on flat panel displays both at the component and system level and serves as a focal point between the system design team, the display EE team, display mechanical team, the supply base management team, and the display suppliers, managing all activities vital to deliver displays into final products from initial concept to production. On this team, we investigate and collaborate with internal and external partners to define the display module specs for new iPhone projects. You will lead an internal, multi-functional team across optical, EE, ME, process and panel design experts. You will also lead collaboration with suppliers as the primary technical contact window. An average day in this multifaceted position could include; hands on characterization of electro-optical performance, data analysis and image processing, scripting for lab level measurement automation, working with various vendors and cross-functional teams on failure analysis, documentation and presentations of the work. We perform the vital display testing and review test results from the display vendors, system OEMs, and multi-functional groups at Apple to ensure the performance specifications are met, in addition to identifying all open engineering issues and drive them to closure with efficiency to support project needs. This person will ensure display goals are met for engineering builds and initial mass production while addressing issues from initial ramp and field returns related to displays and qualification of solutions. International travel is required for this position.
