The role focuses on solving complex hardware integration challenges to deliver premium visual experiences for Mac products.

What you'll do

  • Define and review display module specifications, architecture, and performance requirements for OLED and advanced technologies.
  • Execute meticulous validation plans and perform hands-on optical and electrical performance characterization.
  • Analyze data to ensure display modules meet high-quality standards during the development cycle.
  • Validate display modules at the system level in coordination with internal engineering teams.
  • Investigate and resolve display-related issues from initial engineering builds through mass production.
  • Lead failure analysis efforts across both internal teams and external manufacturing partners.
  • Develop innovative solutions to improve front-of-screen performance and user experience.
  • Travel internationally to support product development and manufacturing ramp at supplier sites.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Optics, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in display technology development, optical system design, semiconductor optoelectronics, or optical sensor technologies.
  • Experience with the product development cycle for consumer electronics from concept through mass production.
  • MS or PhD in EE, Optics, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field (preferred).
  • Proven track record in OLED panel architecture, TFT and driving circuit design, and display process development in high-volume manufacturing (preferred).
  • Experience in display performance characterization and validation using bench-top and industry-standard optical measurement systems (preferred).
  • Experience with optical simulation tools such as LightTools, Zemax, or equivalent (preferred).
  • Experience working directly with mainstream LCD or OLED vendors (preferred).
