Do something different! Apple is looking for a world-class engineer that can help identify and incubate new display technologies. You will work with both suppliers and internal teams at Apple to shape the display-related technologies that go into Apple products. A successful candidate will not only need to identify new tech but also educate a broad audience of people at Apple about their benefits and trade- offs. This position is focusing on the identification, prototyping, and communication of display backplane technologies for future Apple products. The team features a diverse engineering roster including panel engineers, optical engineers, human perception experts, product design engineers, and experimental physicists. We work at a fast pace and require everyone to be highly self-motivated. A successful candidate needs to be a flexible thinker who is able to problem-solve outside of their respective technical area.
This position is focused on the panel design, layout, simulation, characterization, and failure analysis of display backplanes. The work requires interaction with cross-functional teams featuring a diverse engineering roster including panel design, process, device, and optical engineers. Specifically, the role requires the successful candidate to: • Evaluate new technologies for display backplane applications, state-of-the-art panel designs, architecture, driving schemes, integrated circuitry, and interface technologies. • Define electrical architectures to enable the best display performance through total system optimization including pixel design, active matrix addressing, integrated driver circuitry, power architecture, driver/panel interface, and high-speed host system interface. • Conduct panel layout and design studies including SPICE and TCAD modeling and simulations to evaluate electrical/optical performance of new architectures and technologies. • Shepard new technologies into both external supplier and internal product roadmaps. • Conduct failure analysis, define corrective action DOEs, and provide on-site vendor support to resolve critical issues in the panel fabrication process.
