Biomedical Sensor Architect

The Health Sensing Hardware team is looking for a highly-motivated optical engineer to work on the next-generation of optical health successful candidate will be able to leverage training in optical system design modeling and fabrication to develop the optical health sensors in the Apple Watch and AirPods. This candidate should also be adept at analyzing user data to infer real-world performance trends and emergent behavior. Lastly the candidate must be able to distill simulation and empirical results into concise design assessments to cross-functional collaborators and senior management.

You will be working with a team of research scientists and hardware engineers developing technologies for the optical health sensors. You will be responsible for the optical design of the sensor via simulations and prototype-based assessments user studies and analysis of sensor performance. The role also requires strong data analysis skills to infer trends and dependencies in the data to improve the understanding of skin-sensor interactions and directly impact the design and performance of the health sensors. This is a highly cross-functional role and will require close collaboration with mechanical electrical and software engineers. Lastly you will be responsible for delivering detailed assessments and designs evaluations to leadership and cross-functional partners.

The ideal candidate will be a hardware engineer with demonstrated expertise in designing optical assemblies and platforms that integrate electro-optical components such as LEDs and VCSELs with mechanical systems. This role requires experience in planning executing and analyzing user studies combined with proficiency in optical design and ray-tracing software including LightTools OptisWorks FRED and Zemax. Strong programming skills in MATLAB Python and C are essential particularly for developing test platforms and hardware control software using tools like LabView. Success in this position requires flexibility strong collaborative abilities and a proven track record of thriving in fast-paced cross-functional technology development environments. nIn addition experience in the following areas will be a plus for this role:nDesign for high-volume mass production including defining requirements setting third-party vendors on optical component of light transport (coherent and/or diffuse) in biological tissue is a plus.
