Mechatronics Controls Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
One of Apple’s R&D groups is seeking a Mechatronics Controls Engineer to develop, prototype, and validate complex, next-generation electro-mechanical-sensor driven systems. This engineer will develop custom sensor calibration, signal processing, estimation, and controls algorithms for a host of product concepts. Typical work includes real-world modeling, simulation, machine learned and traditional algorithms, embedded implementation, and testing in the real world. We are looking for a hands-on creative individual eager to push performance boundaries on cutting-edge hardware.
In this role you will partner with other mechanical, electrical, control, embedded FW, and AIML resources to develop end-to-end mechatronics experiences.
Minimum Qualifications
- MS in Engineering, Robotics, or CS
- 8+ years of related experience and skilled in the of development, theory, design, modeling, and implementation of control systems
- Deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics and equations of motion for dynamic systems.
- Experience in hardware/software integration and physical system debugging
- Proficient in C/C++ and Python or MATLAB
- Experience with modern software development workflows, version control (e.g., Git), and genAI developer productivity tools (e.g., Claude)
Preferred Qualifications
- PhD in Engineering, Robotics or CS
- Strong knowledge in classical/modern control theory, robotics, and digital signal processing
- Experience with rotary sensing (encoders), inertial measurement systems, and inertial state propagation
