TL;DR · iPhone Touch Sensing Architect

The iPhone Touch Sensing Architect joins the iPhone Touch Sensing Technology team to develop high-precision, low-latency MultiTouch solutions. This role involves conceiving, modeling, prototyping, and integrating new sensor solutions for the iPhone, moving technology from proof-of-concept through ultra-high-volume production. Key responsibilities include developing figures of merit, authoring requirement specifications, and creating end-to-end models for sensors, circuits, DSP, and algorithms. The architect will build tools, scripts, and infrastructure for scalable modeling while performing sensor design, ASIC application design, and system-level integration. Required skills include proficiency in MATLAB, Python, SPICE, and COMSOL, alongside a deep understanding of physics, analog circuits, and linear algebra. The work addresses technical challenges across EE, Math, Physics, and Algorithms to deliver gold-standard mobile sensing experiences.

What you'll do

  • Author requirement specifications and develop key figures of merit critical to performance.
  • Develop end-to-end models for sensors, circuits, DSP, and algorithms to predict performance.
  • Create tools, scripts, and infrastructure to enable scalable modeling.
  • Execute sensor design, ASIC application design, system-level integration, and bring-up.
  • Analyze and reconcile build data against model predictions.
  • Perform failure analysis to identify root causes and propose corrective actions.
  • Provide clear technical updates to leadership and broader engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Hands-on experience in system-level design, architecture, characterization, and validation.
  • Experience in modeling, building, and testing sophisticated, multi-physics systems.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, SPICE, COMSOL, or similar packages.
  • Experience with high-volume mass production (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of physics, analog circuits, and linear algebra (preferred).
  • Ability to thrive in a cross-functional environment (preferred).
