The Display Panel Design Engineer joins the TFT panel design team to design, develop, and launch next-generation display technologies for Apple products. This role involves architecting complete TFT pixel and panel designs, including display panel modeling, simulation, and integrated circuit-on-panel design for both rigid and flexible substrates. Key responsibilities include TFT device modeling, layout, parasitic parameter extraction, and failure mode analysis. The engineer will also develop design automation for simulation and measurement data analysis using Python-driven SPICE sweeps and AI-assisted workflows. Required technical skills include proficiency in CAD environments like Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Laker, SPICE-class simulators such as Spectre or HSPICE, and knowledge of TFT, OLED, and panel processes. The work focuses on delivering advanced display performance through rigorous characterization and cross-functional collaboration.
Architect and develop complete TFT pixel and panel designs for Apple products.
Perform TFT device modeling, simulation, and characteristics measurement.
Create 2D physical layouts and perform parasitic parameter extraction in CAD environments.
Design and validate on-panel integrated circuits for rigid and flexible substrates.
Develop automation for panel simulation, characterization, and measurement data analysis.
Conduct failure mode analysis and root cause investigations to solve technical problems.
Explore and validate new TFT technologies to improve display performance.
Collaborate with external vendors to manage display manufacturing processes.
What we're looking for
Hands-on experience creating 2D physical layouts in CAD environments like Cadence Virtuoso or Synopsys Laker, including design rule verification and parasitic RC extraction.
Hands-on experience performing circuit simulation with SPICE-class simulators like Spectre or HSPICE, including device model setup and result interpretation.
Understanding of the basics of TFT, OLED, and panel processes.
Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on thin-film devices, display circuits, or semiconductor device physics (preferred).
Direct design ownership of an OLED or LCD display product that reached high-volume production (preferred).
Experience in measuring and characterizing IV and CV of TFT or OLED devices (preferred).
Experience building repeatable automation for simulation, measurement, and data-analysis flows such as Python-driven SPICE sweeps (preferred).
