Display Electrical Hardware Architect / Engineer

We are seeking an engineer to architect the next‑generation display technology for Apple products. In this unique role, you will have first‑hand access to novel display innovations and be responsible for designing display sub‑systems that integrate seamlessly into Apple devices. You will spearhead the development of groundbreaking display solutions—inventing original concepts that redefine visual performance, power efficiency, and system‑level integration. Your work will ensure harmonious interaction between the display and critical subsystems such as touch, power supply, timing‑control, and row‑ and column‑driver ICs. This role demands strong collaboration with cross‑functional teams to translate theoretical insights into manufacturable hardware. You will define test plans and validation methodologies for both pre‑silicon and post‑silicon phases and provide technical leadership throughout the development cycle. We’re looking for a driven, imaginative engineer with a strong analytical mindset and a genuine passion for innovation and breakthrough design. If you thrive on pushing the boundaries of display technology, we look forward to welcoming you to Apple’s display engineering team.
Investigate new technologies for next‑generation display products. Perform detailed engineering analyses of silicon and system requirements. Design display architectures and prototypes, including bring‑up and validation. Deliver high‑quality electrical hardware architecture specifications for display systems. Prepare presentations for cross‑functional teams or leadership to review designs and progress.
