About the role

Apple seeks an optical engineer to translate next-generation display technologies into validated hardware performance. You will own end-to-end optical models, validate simulations against real-world builds, and define experiments to improve iteration accuracy. This role blends simulation development with hands-on design and failure analysis. The ideal candidate has a strong background in optical engineering, experience correlating simulations with measurements, and proficiency with tools like

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through
