Job description

The Health Sensing Hardware team is looking for a highly-motivated optical engineer to work on the next-generation of optical health sensors...The successful candidate will be able to leverage training in optical system design, modeling and fabrication to develop the optical health sensors in the Apple Watch and AirPods. This candidate should also be adept at analyzing user data to infer real-world performance trends and emergent behavior. Lastly, the candidate must be able to distill simulation and empirical results into concise design assessments to cross-functional collaborators and senior management.
You will be working with a team of research scientists and hardware engineers developing technologies for the optical health sensors. You will be responsible for the optical design of the sensor via simulations and prototype-based assessments, user studies and analysis of sensor performance. The role also requires strong data analysis skills to infer trends and dependencies in the data to improve the understanding of skin-sensor interactions and directly impact the design and performance of the health sensors. This is a highly cross-functional role and will require close collaboration with mechanical, electrical and software engineers. Lastly, you will be responsible for delivering detailed assessments and designs evaluations to leadership and cross-functional partners.
Knowledge of optical system design for wearable sensing applications including lens design, integration of electro-optical components etc.Strong optical simulation skills using commercial ray-tracing packages.Experience with hands-on optical system prototyping.Collaborative and willing to work in cross-functional fast-paced technology development.Excellent written and verbal communication skills, excellent documentation skills.BS in Biomedical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or related field.
Experience with optical design for high-volume manufacturing.Familiar with fundamentals of light transport in biological tissue.Conversant in cross-functional aspects of system design; mechanical tolerance of system, sources of electrical noise.PhD in Biomedical or Optical Engineering.2+ years of industry experience in related field.
