TL;DR · Module Test Instrumentation & Automation Engineer

Join Apple's Motion Sensing Hardware team as a Module Test Instrumentation & Automation Engineer, where you will design and execute comprehensive test methodologies for IMU, pressure, and compass sensor systems, supporting data collection and automation infrastructure throughout the product development lifecycle. Your daily tasks include developing characterization experiments, creating test plans and fixtures, writing software tools for data acquisition and analysis, and collaborating with engineers to define data schemas and protocols. You will analyze signal-level data to identify noise sources and temperature dependencies, evaluate error models, and drive root cause analyses of anomalies. This role requires hands-on experience with inertial measurement units, barometric pressure sensors, and magnetometers, along with proficiency in Python for test automation and strong software engineering skills. Ideal candidates have a background in electrical or mechanical engineering and experience with sensor characterization, signal processing, and hardware communication protocols.

What you'll do

  • Design and execute characterization experiments for IMU, pressure, and compass sensors.
  • Develop and maintain test plans and fixtures for new sensor variants.
  • Write software for data acquisition, signal processing, and results visualization.
  • Perform signal-level analysis to identify noise sources and temperature dependencies.
  • Evaluate error models and performance metrics for IMUs and pressure sensors.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years experience characterizing inertial, pressure, or magnetic sensors
  • Deep understanding of IMU error models and noise characterization techniques
  • Hands-on magnetometer characterization including interference assessment
  • Proficiency in Python for production-quality test automation and analysis
  • Strong signal processing skills: FFT, filtering, statistical sensor output analysis
  • Object-oriented software design skills for reusable code integration
  • Excellent communication skills for documenting methodologies and presenting results
