Control Systems 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 Camera Systems Engineering Group develops systems calibration and correction procedures to maintain high image quality over a wide range of use cases and component variation. Past projects have addressed autofocus image stabilization position sensing and stereo imaging. The team is seeking an exceptional control systems engineer with broad skills to design and develop the next generation of camera technology.

As a Camera System Controls Engineer you will be involved in determining requirements and specifications for control systems systems-level analysis and modeling of control systems developing robust control strategies guiding design and construction of prototypes to assess user impact defining tests and procedures and the documentation of requirements and rationale.
