Additional Information
The Apple Advanced Technologies Group is looking for a motivated electrical engineer to drive the design of next generation touch sensors. Our group's objective is to enable the delivery of world class user experiences Apple products are famous for. We achieve this objective through the design and integration of high-precision, low-latency multi-touch and stylus sensors across several product lines.
As Apple products are continually evolving, we consistently face complex multi-disciplinary problems spanning such areas as:
- Circuit Analysis
- Electro-magnetics
- DSP
- Algorithm Development
- Material Science
- Manufacturing logistics
Overcoming these problems requires creativity, sharp problem-solving skills, and strong EE fundamentals.
