About The Position

Apple is looking for a world class module design engineer to lead the design, development and qualification activities of the next generation smart display technology and products. This individual will serve as a focal point in managing new display and light sensor technology development and drive the implementation of critical technology platforms to improve display performance and productivity, from design conception to hardware and experience prototyping, and to final products. You will be involved in system modeling to assist in design and validation. You will work with a diverse and multidisciplinary group of highly talented colleagues. You will be a directly responsible individual and collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers to understand design tolerance and sensitivities, optimize system-level performance based on critical metrics, and validate system designs through engineering builds and design of experiments. A successful candidate needs to be comfortable with new technology, a flexible problem solver, meticulous in attention to detail, highly independent, and motivated to drive results. You should be able to tackle problems outside of your respective technical area, have strong presentation and communication skills, and thrive in a hands-on environment that values engineering excellence and innovation. You will be part of something big; come join us!
