Algorithm engineer at Apple developing active alignment solutions for optical modules, working with cross-functional teams and vendors from engineering to mass production. Responsible for core algorithms using optical feedback for manufacturing processes.

TechnologyFull-timeHardware

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop algorithm for equipment and processes to convert an idea in the lab to a mass-produced part.
  • Collaborate with external vendors, contract manufacturers, and internal teams (design, operation, etc.) to deliver an active alignment solution for a new optical module from engineering to mass production phases.
  • Responsible for the core algorithm that provides feedback for active alignment process based on optical response (e.g., image from camera or other optical sensor).

Requirements

  • Bachelor/Master/PhD in Engineering, Optics, Physics or equivalent.
  • Experience in developing algorithm/solution on signal/image processing (computer vision) for manufacturing of optical component/module (>3 years).
  • Experience on experimental setup (hardware + software) for image processing.
  • Use of MATLAB for algorithm development and validation.
  • Experience on building up experimental setup for photonics/optical characterization.
  • Clear and effective communication (written, in person and virtual) skill.
  • Licensed to operate laser (e.g., Singapore NEA N3 license) (preferred).
  • Experience/expertise in either 1) optics attach (active alignment) process or 2) optical functionality test of optical devices (for example camera, projector, range finder, flashlight, proximity sensor, etc.) (preferred).
  • Expertise in 1) geometric optics 2) exposure/understanding on compact optical module (such as camera, proximity and depth sensors) (preferred).
