Apple designs consumer electronics that have touched millions and changed the way people interact with electronic devices around the world. These products have cameras and other optical technologies that need calibration and testing to ensure the customer experience we want to deliver.
The HWTE group is responsible for developing technologies, calibration methodologies, and HW for the calibration and testing of every single Apple product before it leaves the factory. These solutions will be developed during New Product Introduction (NPI) before they are scaled by the operations team.
Description
The role of this Camera Calibration and Test Engineering Manager is to lead and grow a team that designs proof of concept metrology and validates them for the calibration/testing of our camera technologies. You will work closely with Camera Design groups within Apple to ensure the success of the current and future Apple products.
Minimum Qualifications
BS in EE/CE/Physics/Optics
In-depth knowledge of camera/optical system working principles
Expertise in camera and optical sensor calibration techniques and metrology
3+ years of experience in managing people OR leading cross-functional projects
Programming experience in Python or Matlab for analyzing data
Strong communication skills with ability to deliver technical and executive-level presentations
Ability to travel internationally up to 10% if the time
Preferred Qualifications
MS in EE/CE/Physics/Optics
