System Design Engineer

The team is looking for a system design engineer who is responsible for the design and

deployment of systems, which carry out calibration and performance validation of different

sensors on an iPhone. You will be responsible for the full spectrum of the

lifecycle of the test system - from prototyping to deployment at mass production. You will work

closely with the design group to define calibration and test procedures, and design

high precision instrumentation & systems to be able to perform this effectively in a factory

environment.

Description

You will be responsible for the design specification, bring up, validation and deployment

of automated instrumentation to calibrate and test Apples products through NPI and

mass production.

Knowledge, coupled with experience in designing calibration and test solutions in

motion, optical, camera, display, touch or other sensing technology

Work with our mechanical engineering team to specify and validate the required

mechanical fixtures & automation systems

Develop, debug, and optimize automation software

Run simulations/ DOEs to make data driven decisions & presenting to management

Analyze large amounts of data generated from your instrument systems and adopt

data-driven approaches to solving engineering challenges

Perform failure mode root cause analysis and resolution, debugging from the system

level down to the component level

Collaborate with cross functional teams like module design, system EE, product

design, firmware, operations, and logistics teams.

Frequent interactions with contract manufacturers/vendors; developing SOPs, debug

instructions, and documentation

Minimum Requirements

Masters/ Bachelors in Robotics/Mechatronics/Electrical/ Computer Engineering

Very good programming skills in one or more of the following: C/C++/Objective-C,

along with scripting knowledge (Python, Lua). >2 years of experience is a must.

Working knowledge of consumer electronics modules like transducers/ sensors (light/

force/pressure/touch/motion)

Basic understanding of hardware concepts and EE fundamentals (i.e. HW

architecture, Control System, Signal processing etc.)

Experience analyzing and processing large data sets

Domestic travel may be required (up to 10%)

Preferred Requirements

Self-motivated, self-reliant, and confident in working independently in a challenging,

factory environment. The following skills are not necessary for consideration, but will be

considered a plus:

3+ years of professional experience in design, development, debug, validation and

working with electro-mechanical systems

Understanding of test principles, GRR, experience with test automation and

optimization

Experience in high volume consumer electronics manufacturing

Experience with data processing tools - plotting, processing and mining data

Experience or deep understanding to AI/ML modeling

Strong analytical/problem solving skills and ability to manage many priorities across

multiple disciplines

Multitasking on multiple challenging projects that have tight schedules

Excellent written and verbal communication skills
