At Apple, extraordinary ideas have a way of quickly becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences. Sound is an essential and compelling facet of the customer experience. Apple has assembled an elite Acoustics team that enables our customers to experience music with delight, communicate with clarity, and enjoy elegant sound throughout our product line. In Apple Acoustics we work with the utmost attention to detail, directly impacting the design of products that millions of people around the world love! Our Microphone Engineering team helps drive microphone hardware design, validation, and problem-solving to minimize distracting audible noises and optimize sound quality across Apple product lines. We are a diverse team of acoustics, mechanics, electronics, physics, and MEMS experts; accomplished listeners, and creative problem solvers. We work closely with multi-functional teams on innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges. We are searching for a MEMS Microphone Module Engineer to support our ability to develop new microphone modules. Could this be you?
Key Qualifications
- 2+ years of hands-on experience and proven track record in sensor hardware development or characterization. Direct experience with MEMS microphone preferred.
- Knowledge of mechanics, materials science, or acoustics and an interest in applying that knowledge to microphone packaging design and module assembly
- Curiosity in reliability testing and failure analysis, including IPx
- Experience in MEMS sensor assembly and manufacturing
- Familiarity with assembly techniques (solders, adhesives, etc.) and material interactions (chemical, thermal, mechanical susceptibilities)
- Exposure to semiconductor and MEMS backend processing is a bonus
- Excellent written and interpersonal skills to engage effectively with multi-disciplinary team members
Description
Do you have an inventive design approach and enjoy the challenges of MEMS sensors? As a MEMS Microphone Module Engineer, you will drive the development of MEMS microphone modules, with a focus on the package design and module assembly.
