Could this be you

Do you have an inventive design approach and enjoy the challenges of miniaturization As a Microphone Module Engineer you will be responsible for modeling and analyzing new sensor and actuator technologies to enable new acoustics features across Apple product lines. This will include scoping new MEMS technologies and devising proof-of-concept designs models and test-structures. Youll apply your expertise using analytical lumped element and finite element methods. Youll communicate your findings and takeaways regularly with a diverse multi-functional team working on acoustic modules. This includes regular presentations on status risk and mitigation strategies. Ultimately your efforts will identify useful technologies to travel from the technology development phase to utilization in this role you will regularly interact with suppliers and sub-contractors to drive technologies that enable new sensor and actuator functionalities diagnosing engineering issues as you go driving to definitive root cause. Your creativity and ability to think quickly and dynamically in order solve technical challenges will be key.
