In this role you will enjoy innovating through hands-on research and demonstrating expertise that brings together a breadth of technologies to innovate for future Apple products. With input from domain experts and support from an exceptional team you will help conceive analyze model optimize and evolve new and emerging concepts and devices for future Apple systems. You will use your unusually broad knowledge of photonics physics and engineering plus your skill at device modeling to build deep quantitative understanding of how optical devices interact with computational systems and how to optimize those interactions including using novel process concepts. You will communicate plans and technical results through team meetings written reports and presentations to wider teams or to management as appropriate. You will participate in the design prototyping and characterization of resulting devices and systems. Ability to balance the risk of novelty and exploration against delivering value would be a crucial skill for this role and looking beyond traditional boundaries for applications would be important. You will almost certainly need to learn new things quickly and to the right level of detail and should have the ability to manage competing demands within an engineering research setting effectively. Exceptional ability to work with other curious minds take on feedback constructively while being able to confidently give technical feedback and being able to role-model exploratory culture within the team will be critical for success.
