We are looking for a world class lens module engineer to join our engineering team and make a big difference in the future of Apple. By collaborating with broad engineering roster including optical engineers, human perception experts, product design engineers, and experimental physicists, you’ll push the industry boundaries of what optics can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world. A successful candidate will not only focus on developing innovative imaging architecture new to industry, but also educate a broad audience of people at Apple about their benefits and tradeoffs. In addition, this role involves ensuring the accuracy of manufacturing, reliability of characterization, and tooling techniques used for lens module.\n\nDescription\n\nAs a Vision Display Lens Module Engineer, you’ll drive the entire lens module end to end, from conceptual design to volume manufacturing. Your responsibilities will span various tasks, including collaborating effectively with key stakeholders such as Optical, Mechanical, Display, System, Software, Product Design, and external vendors. You will be expected to:\n\nDefine architecture for new imaging lens technologies with understanding of system requirement, display & optical behavior, and human perception.\n\nTranslate optics requirement and features into detailed plans, develop schedules, deliver solutions in predictable, timely manner.\n\nUse geometrical optics or wave-optics tools to architect new optical modules and to assess their expected performance and limitations.\n\nWork with multi-functional teams to assess risks, understand coverage needs and priorities\n\nWork with optics manufacturing suppliers, and develop new techniques for optical components and modules.\n\nIdentify novel characterization techniques to measure key performance metrics of complex and novel optical components. Perform statistical analysis of data to determine optical performance and quality.\n\nRegular visit suppliers to support engineering builds, and help with failure analysis activities.\n\nGenerate and maintain documentation of specifications, manufacturing, test and FA processes.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nM.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Optical Sciences, EE, Materials Science or similar.\n\nCapable of prototyping, conducting design of experiments, and analytical data processing.\n\nExperience managing domestic and international vendors.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\n\nB.S. in Physics, Optical Sciences, EE, Materials Science or similar, and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.\n\n2+ years of experience leading projects.\n\nApple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
