Custom Silicon Applications Engineer - Camera Hardware

Summary
Do 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, you'll help design the innovative technology that allows each generation of Apple products to produce photos even more incredible than the last. You'll design and develop groundbreaking ideas for everything involved in our camera systems, from sensor to lens. You'll collaborate with teams across Apple to research, design, develop, test, and qualify camera hardware for Apple products. Together, we'll craft a magical photography experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from their cameras.

The Camera Electronics and Sensing Group, develops custom chipsets to enable world-class imaging and sensing features across Apple products, including lens stabilization, depth sensing, flicker detection, and eye tracking.



Description
In this role, you will be working with cross-functional teams including mechanical, optical, firmware, product/test and camera systems engineers to evaluate performance specifications. You will understand how complex system architectures translate to electrical and IC requirements. With a desire to "break things", you will:

- Work at the boundary of vendor requirements to search for incorrect implementations.

- Develop and execute on plans for validation and debugging, and then complete data analysis to draw conclusions.

- Develop software including scripts, firmware, and RTL for laboratory data acquisition, control systems, silicon validation, and prototyping.

- Design and debug circuits and PCBs for validating, characterizing, and prototyping camera HW chipsets.
