Camera System Integration Engineer

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build service we create or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each others ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world changing lives for the better. Its the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in we can do the best work of our lives. Here youll do more than join something youll add you love taking on big challenges that require exceptionally creative solutions Do you deeply understand how an incredible camera experience should work As part of our Camera Technologies group youll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. Youll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems from sensor to lens. Youll collaborate with teams across Apple to research design develop test and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together well craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their cameras. Bring passion and dedication to your job and theres no telling what you could accomplish!

The Camera Hardware Engineering group is responsible for all research design development test and qualification of camera hardware for Apple products. We are searching for extraordinary Hardware Engineers to take ownership in the development and system integration of very high-performance compact camera modules and depth-sensing hardware such as the revolutionary 5x Telephoto camera with the 120mm optical zoom integrated into the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max!
