One of Apple's R&D groups is currently seeking a senior controls and Sensing Firmware development engineer. This engineer will architect, develop and integrate DSP, controls and perception based algorithms onto a real time system. In addition, this candidate will be responsible for integration into a broader system platform and optimize thread management, loop timing and ISRs related to physical peripherals. The ideal candidate has worked at the intersection of hardware, firmware and algorithms and enjoys fast paced highly cross-functional teamwork. We are looking for passionate and creative individuals to push the performance bounds of actuated systems.
Does working on new technology excite you? Innovation is in your hands! We are ready to help you help us grow.
Key Qualifications
Skilled in the development, theory, and design of realtime sensor or actuation systems.
Must have domain expertise in at least one of the following: DSP, 3D sensor data product manipulation or control systems.
Expert in C/C++ for real time embedded systems
Expert in Matlab/Simulink and code-generation work flows
Expert in source control (eg. GIT) on multi developer projects
Experience coordinating, communicating and escalating issues to MCU vendors (ST, NXP, TI, etc...)
Experience implementing FW on ARM based embedded targets.
Description
In this role you will partner with controls, actuation, power electronics and embedded FW engineers to develop robust and efficient firmware for unique applications.
Responsibilities include:
Drive controls and sensing FW architecture, development flows, and integration on new hardware
Communicate progress cross-functionally (written, verbal, and presentation)
Develop diagnostics, fault handling and transition prototype code in to production
Optimize embedded system design to minimize compute utilization, transport and processing delays in the pursuit of performance.
Mentor and grow junior firmware & integration engineers
Act as a technical leader representing the team with cross functional software development peers
Perform failure analysis and problem solving with internal (Apple) and external (vendor) partners.
Education & Experience
MS or PhD in Engineering + minimum of 8 years of industry experience
