Health Sensing HW - Electrical Technology HW Architecture

SummaryPosted: Role Number:200569776The Health Sensing team conceives, designs, develops, and launches innovative and exciting health sensing technologies for Apple’s future products, while expanding an impactful new domain for the company. The people on the team don’t just build products. They deliver inspiring technology and information to users on the most critical area of their lives - their health. Dynamic, smart people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here, not to mention letters of how these features helped improve or save people’s lives. Imagine what you could do here! You will work in highly cross functional environment and mainly contribute on hardware architecture design for development for electrical sensing health features, such as ECG in the Apple Watch. The role’s responsibilities will encompass health sensing circuit and system design, simulation and modeling, data processing/analysis along with crafting well-documented specifications and rationale.DescriptionWe are responsible for designing and delivering high quality electrical health sensing features for Apple's product. We are highly collaborative and partner with a variety of teams across Apple. You will mainly work on develop sensing hardware and responsible for following: Conduct architecture design, simulation, modeling, board level circuit and system design for health sensing products in the entire lifecycle of a new product, from initial design and functional specification of new hardware features and overall architecture design all the way to support and validation of these features. Review schematics, layout and other design collateral for fabrication. Develop analysis and modeling tools for hardware performance, perform complex system level tests, enhance and resolve issues in existing products, and perform unit testing and end-to-end testing. Collect and process environmental and physiological data from users to draw conclusions, predict performance of new designs and components based on simulation and modeling tools. Translate feature requirements into electrical hardware specifications and validate performance against specifications. Drive the development of component and modules to meet pre-defined specifications. Analyze and leverage manufacturing data to improve quality and minimize defects. Drive failure analysis to understand root-cause and implement corrective actions. Author evaluation plans, technical documentation such as Engineering Requirements Specification (ERS), and aid in bring-up to deliver scalable solution to support Apple mass production in a high quality way. Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (FW, Algorithm), including problem solving and requirement drafting across various functions and disciplines.Minimum QualificationsHands-on experience and proven track record in design, debug and test of mixed-signal or sensing systems.Strong background in one or more of these areas: sensor interface circuit/system architecture, analog/mixed signal circuit design, simulation/modeling of electrical circuits, board/flex design for sensitive system, data processing and analysis.Proficiency in writing, debugging and maintaining code to analyze data from electrical systems or user studies.Proficiency in Python, Matlab, SPICE or similar simulation tools.Excellent written and verbal communication skills, as well as solid teamwork.BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant proven experience.Preferred QualificationsExperience in embedded system design and firmware development is a plus.Experience in COMSOL, Ansys Q3D or similar multi-physics simulation tools is a plus.Experience in machine learning or deep learning is a plus.Experience in prototyping for physiological sensor signal acquisition and design & execute user study is plus.Pay & BenefitsAt Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $175,800 and $312,200, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs.
