Original job description

Summary Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something - you’ll add something.

Description The Camera Hardware Engineering group is responsible for all research, design, development, test and qualification of camera hardware for Apple products. The team is looking for an Optical Engineer to work on the development and system-level integration of new illumination components such as the camera flash.

Responsibilities

Model and optimize the performance and appearance of various illumination systems involving LEDs, lenses, coatings, diffusers, light guides, and diffractive optical elements. Communicate your optical simulation results to the cross-functional team. Work with mechanical engineering and product design teams to address manufacturing and system integration constraints. Take designs into production. Work with suppliers on prototypes. Troubleshoot issues by defining proper metrology, requesting and analyzing the necessary data, and making a decision on the solution. Characterize the optical behavior of materials, surfaces, and light sources in order to improve the accuracy and reliability of our optical models. Evaluate the feasibility of new design concepts and new optical technologies. Build and use AI-assisted workflows, such as LLM agents and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool servers, to automate optical simulation setup, data analysis, and reporting. Manage multiple projects and priorities, take initiative, and explore new ideas.

Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or relevant field of study. Experience in LightTools, SPEOS, Zemax non-sequential, RSoft, or Lumerical.

Preferred Qualifications Master’s or PhD degree in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or relevant field of study with 3 years of relevant industry experience Experience in optical design applied to illumination systems such as general lighting, automotive lighting, displays, cameras, or optical metrology. Ability to write scripts to automate optical simulations and data analysis (Python, Matlab, C#, C++, VB). Experience using AI coding agents (Claude Code, MCP servers, agent skills) along optical software (LightTools, CODE V, Zemax) to automate simulation and analysis work. Ability to verify AI-generated scripts and results against optics first-principles. Build and validate tools and workflows for use across the larger team. Experience with optical characterization equipment such as spectrophotometers and scatterometers. Understanding of LEDs and solid-state lighting. Familiarity with CAD software such as NX or SolidWorks. Ability to interface with cross-functional teams to support integration of illumination components into systems and assess feasibility of new optical concepts.

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 $150,400 and $225,300, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
