Senior Analog & Power Validation Engineer - Camera & Laser Sensor Systems

Open 48d

Apple's Hardware group is home to some of the world's most advanced technologies - powering the experiences that define Apple products.

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Analog & Power Validation Engineer — Camera & Laser Sensor Systems to join our team in Herzliya.

Minimum Qualifications

  • BSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field
  • 7+ years of experience in analog/power validation, characterization, or hardware design verification
  • Strong Python proficiency — automation, instrumentation control, data analysis, and visualization
  • Proven experience designing validation strategies and DFV methodologies for development platforms
  • Hands-on experience with power domain characterization in multi-sensor systems
  • Demonstrated ability to work across the full validation cycle — from test plan definition through execution, analysis, and reporting
  • Solid understanding of laser safety standards and protection circuit requirements
  • Strong system-level vision — ability to understand the full power architecture and how analog domains interact within the broader camera and laser sensor system
  • System-to-component depth — proven capability to conduct system-level power validation while diving to component-level characterization for root-cause analysis and margin assessment
  • Deep knowledge of power management architectures — LDOs, DC-DC converters (buck, boost, buck-boost), charge pumps, and power switches
  • Hands-on experience with laser driver circuits — current sources, pulsed drive, modulation schemes, and safety mechanisms
  • Proficiency with analog test instrumentation — oscilloscopes, power analyzers, source-measure units (SMUs), electronic loads, spectrum analyzers, and thermal imaging
  • Experience with DFV/DFT methodologies for analog and mixed-signal systems
  • Strong proficiency in Python for test automation, data acquisition, instrumentation control, and analysis
  • Understanding of PCB design considerations for power integrity — layout, decoupling, grounding, and thermal management

Preferred Qualifications

  • MSc in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related discipline — considered a significant advantage
  • Experience with camera sensor power domains (AVDD, DVDD, IOVDD) and associated sequencing requirements
  • Familiarity with VCSEL or edge-emitting laser driver characterization
  • Experience with thermal characterization and power derating analysis
  • Background in EMC/EMI considerations for analog and power circuits
