Display Module Optical Engineer

** Role Number:*
* ** Summary*
* Apple is seeking a highly motivated Display Module Optical Engineer with a strong passion for next-generation display technologies. Explore optics and develop module-level integration processes for advanced optical components used in future display systems. You will tackle new technical challenges, help create solutions that do not yet exist, and influence the future of interactive and display technologies at Apple.

You will apply your expertise in optics, optical metrology,  diffractive optical components, and module integration while collaborating closely with world-class cross-functional teams and top global suppliers to deliver innovative, manufacturable, mass-production solutions.

** Description*
* This individual will serve as a key focal point for new display technology development, driving the implementation of emerging technology platforms into final products. In this role, you will contribute to system-level modeling to support design decisions and validation, working closely with a diverse, multi-disciplinary team. As a directly responsible individual, you will partner with cross-functional teams and suppliers to understand design tolerances and sensitivities, optimize system performance based on critical metrics, and validate system behavior through engineering builds and design of experiments.

The ideal candidate is comfortable working with new technologies, demonstrates flexible and strategic problem-solving, and maintains meticulous attention to detail. You should be highly independent, motivated to deliver results, and capable of tackling challenges beyond your immediate technical domain. Strong communication and presentation skills are essential, along with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, agile, hands-on, and innovation-driven environment that values engineering excellence.
