Sensor System Architect, Touch & Biometric Sensing
Summary
Architect next-generation Touch ID and Apple Watch touch/biometric sensing at Apple: drive concept definition, physics-based modeling, sensor algorithms and signal processing, and system requirements that guide mass production. Core tools include Matlab, Python, SPICE, and multiphysics simulators.
Imagine shaping the future of how people interact with Apple products, from secure biometric authentication to the nuances of the touch experience. As a key member of our Sensing Systems team, you will drive architecture & technology development for both next-generation Touch ID, and Apple Watch Touch technologies.
Your work will ensure that Apple devices are not only fundamentally secure, but also offer the most intuitive and responsive touch interfaces in the world. This role sits at the intersection of technology definition and product integration, spanning initial concept & physics-based modeling, through definition of system requirements that guide mass production.
