Apple
Optical Simulation Engineer
Sunnyvale, California, United States Hardware Are you seeking to push the boundaries of what's considered feasible? We're looking for a world-class optical simulation engineer to join our engineering team and make a significant impact on the future of Apple! By collaborating with a diverse engineering team, including other optical engineers, human perception experts, product design engineers, and experimental physicists, you'll revolutionize the industry's understanding of optical devices and enhance the product experience for our global customers. In this role, you'll be a driving force behind designing innovative architectures for Apple Vision displays. This position focuses on optical simulation to drive understanding, predict performance, and set specifications of complex near-to-eye devices. You'll work to develop test methods for model validation, define perceptual metrics to accurately capture human experience, and help drive product development from the conceptual phase to mass production. Together, we'll create a magical experience that redefines what millions of customers can expect from Apple Vision products. Bring passion and dedication to your work, and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Minimum Qualifications
B.S. in Physics, Optical engineering, or Electrical engineering and 3 years of industry experience or equivalent. Experience in sequential and/or non-sequential rays trace tools (e.g., Zemax, LightTools) for design, analysis, optimization, and tolerancing of optical systems. Experience in one or more scientific computing languages (e.g., Python, C/C#, Matlab, etc.) for optical simulation, custom analysis scripting, and data post-processing and visualization. Preferred Qualifications
M.S. or Ph.D. in Optical engineering, Electrical engineering or equivalent. Strong working knowledge of refractive and diffractive optical design and pertinent optical simulation approaches including ray tracing, Fourier beam propagation, RCWA, FDTD, Mueller calculus, etc. Experience with near-to-eye display technologies and perceptual metrics for human vision. Experience with model validation and improvement based on laboratory experimental results. Experience in mass production of consumer optical devices. Pay & Benefits
At 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 $147,400 and $272,100, 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. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses
including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation.
