Optical Module Engineer
Cupertino, California, United States
Hardware
Apple is seeking an highly motivated optical module engineer to drive the development and integration of innovative optical devices and technologies into our product. This role is essential in the module feature and spec definition, ensuring our optical modules meet system integration requirements and high standards of user experience and performance target.
Description
As an Optical Module Engineer, you will be advancing optical modules at the fundamental device physics/materials level all the way up to system level integration and software definition. You will serve as the focal point for all optics module related matters, collaborating with the system team, electrical engineering team, mechanical team, technology team, operations and quality teams, and our supply chain partners.
In this role, you will lead the multi-functional team to set goals and priorities to ensure a smooth and successful product launch. You will own the lens module master specification, from pre-concept phase through mass production. This will require hands-on lab work to test and characterize lens module performance and solve issues with optical module quality (e.g.image quality, electro-optical performance, reliability). Travel to international sites to support builds at component, module, and system factories is required.
Minimum Qualifications
- Master's in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Optomechanics, or Physics
- Technical experience in at least one of the following fields: optical design and characterization, electro-optical device validation, vision optics, optomechanics, vision display
- Experience in bench-top and industry standard optical measurement systems (like MTF, distortion, or electro-optical performance, etc.)
- Experience using statistical data acquisition and analysis (e.g. JMP or MATLAB) and/or optical simulation tools (e.g. Zemax or LightTools)
Key Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
- A broad engineering background encompassing VR/MR display technologies and electrical engineering
- Familiarity with defining EE/ME interface into the system
- Skilled in developing and implementing comprehensive strategies for tackling complex systemic issues, performing failure analysis, data analysis, image processing and devising effective mitigation plans
- Proactive, strong communication and multi-functional leadership skills
- Experienced in writing technical requirement specification documents
- Familiar with manufacturing equipment development
