The Force & Opaque Touch and Sensing team develops cutting-edge sensing solutions and technologies that are central to Apple's products, including the MacBook Pro, Mac Book Air, iPhone Camera Control, AirPods Pro, Apple Pencil, HomePod, Apple TV Siri Remote, Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad. You will be part of a team developing innovative concepts for products used by millions of people. The position involves electrostatics and multiphysics modeling, sensor design and system-level performance analysis.

As a modeling and simulation engineer focused on developing innovative sensor technologies, you will design and optimize touch and force sensors through comprehensive design analysis, modeling, and cross-functional collaboration. This role centers on leveraging advanced simulation techniques and analytical modeling to predict touch and force sensor behavior, optimize user interaction response, and ensure robust performance across diverse operating conditions. You will work closely with multidisciplinary teams including electrical engineers, mechanical designers, material scientists, and sensor algorithms engineers to translate modeling insights into manufacturable sensor solutions that meet stringent performance requirements while driving next-generation touch and force sensing capabilities.
