TL;DR · EE Design & Test Engineer

The Motion Sensing Hardware team at Apple seeks a Module Test Instrumentation & Automation Engineer to design and validate custom test systems for inertial, pressure, and magnetic sensors. This role involves creating analog and mixed-signal schematics, overseeing PCB layouts, and developing software interfaces that integrate with the broader automation infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of experience in designing precision measurement hardware and proficiency in Python for test automation. Essential skills include strong knowledge of signal conditioning, filtering, and debugging tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers. Familiarity with sensor communication protocols like I2C and SPI is crucial, along with the ability to collaborate closely across hardware, firmware, and software teams to ensure seamless integration of test systems into data collection pipelines.

What you'll do

  • Design analog and mixed-signal schematics for sensor evaluation boards and test fixtures.
  • Oversee PCB layout focusing on signal integrity, noise isolation, and power supply rejection.
  • Develop software interfaces and APIs to connect custom test hardware to automation tools.
  • Write Python scripts to automate the bring-up and calibration of custom test instrumentation.
  • Perform board-level debug using precision measurement equipment to validate hardware behavior.
  • Collaborate with firmware engineers to define embedded interface requirements for custom hardware.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing schematics and reviewing PCB layouts for analog, mixed-signal or precision measurement applications
  • Strong proficiency in signal conditioning, filtering, amplifier selection, noise analysis, and power supply design for precision measurement
  • Proficiency with Python for test automation, hardware control, and data collection scripting
  • Familiarity with sensor communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART) and ability to debug signal integrity issues at the hardware level
  • Experience collaborating closely with firmware and embedded software engineers on custom test hardware projects
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills for clear documentation of hardware designs and cross-disciplinary collaboration
