TL;DR · TouchID Electrical Engineering Tech Lead

As an Electrical Engineering Tech Lead on the Sensing Systems team at Apple, you will define and drive the next generation of Touch ID sensor designs, playing a pivotal role in enhancing security and user experience for millions. You will own module architectures and circuit design tradeoffs, balancing performance, power consumption, sensitivity, noise levels, and manufacturability. Leading multi-functional teams through complex integration challenges, you will influence silicon requirements and present technical strategies to executives. Your responsibilities include identifying risks early, developing mitigation plans, conducting root cause analyses for critical issues, and making data-driven decisions using tools like SPICE, MATLAB, or Python. Deep analog expertise and the ability to navigate ambiguity are essential, as is proficiency with flexible PCB design and signal/power integrity analysis.

What you'll do

  • Define sensor module electrical architectures and drive design decisions through production.
  • Own circuit design tradeoffs to balance performance, power, sensitivity, noise, complexity, and manufacturability.
  • Lead multi-functional teams through integration challenges by defining technical direction.
  • Identify early technical risks and develop mitigation strategies to keep programs on track.
  • Influence silicon-level requirements based on system and module needs for optimal performance.

What we're looking for

  • Strong background in analog circuit design with experience through full product cycles.
  • Proficiency in SPICE for circuit simulation and lab debug capabilities.
  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive technical alignment across disciplines.
  • Experience with capacitive or biometric sensing systems, including flexible PCB design.
  • Skill in presenting technical strategies and recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Capability to identify and mitigate technical risks early in product development.
