The diverse collection of our people and their ideas encourages innovation in everything we do. Imagine what you could do here Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Every single day, people do amazing things at Apple Apple designs consumer electronics that have touched millions and changed the way people interact with electronic devices around the world. Be part of the team with a state-of-the-art calibration and test ecosystem to manufacture Apple hardware products. The team is looking for a system design engineer who is responsible for the design and deployment of systems that carry out calibration and performance validation of sensors on a well-known iPhone product line. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of the test system, from prototyping to mass production deployment. You will work closely with the Sensing design group to define calibration and test procedures, and design high-precision instrumentation and systems to be able to perform this efficiently in a factory environment. As a Calibration and Instrumentation Engineer, you will: - Develop state of the art measurement systems - Introduce cutting-edge technology to people around the world to make their lives better - Touch every aspect of a system, including HW design, SW development, vendor engagement, algorithm optimization, data mining and factory deployment - Work collaboratively with a creative and diverse team of expert engineers from all disciplines, including Systems Hardware, Product Design, Reliability, Software and Operations

Description

Design, specification, development and deployment of sensor calibration and test systems. This equipment calibrates and verifies performance for use during new product introduction (NPI). This role includes: - Specify and acquire instruments, components and tools for use in an NPI environment - Collaborate with multi-functional teams to specify and implement test coverage - Run simulations/ DOEs to make data-driven decisions and present to management - Analyze large amounts of NPI data & generate a system design improvement plan. - Own the qualification and improvement of the developed systems. Conduct station hardware/software issues FA from the system level down to the component level. - Redefine existing algorithms to optimise them for performance or execution time - Balance decisions between engineering asks & manufacturing efficiency while ensuring product quality - Requires intermediate software programming skills to design, develop, optimize, review and debug software in C/C++/Objective-C used in interacting with embedded systems - Strong leadership and problem-solving ability.
