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.

Apple is looking for a world-class Thin Film Transistor (TFT) panel design engineer to design, develop and launch the next display technologies for the displays in Apple products. The TFT panel design team is responsible for delivering the advanced TFT panel designs and technologies to enable the world's best display performance in Apple Products. This individual will serve as a focal point for architecting and developing complete TFT pixel and panel designs, including display panel modeling, simulation, integrated circuit-on-panel design, panel architecture, and whole-panel functional simulation.

This role is also expected to strengthen how the team simulates - advancing model fidelity, building automation around simulation and measurement data analysis, and applying AI-assisted workflows to shorten design iteration.

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on thin-film devices, display circuits, or semiconductor device physics

Direct design ownership of an OLED or LCD display product that reached high-volume production

Experience in display touch

Experience in measuring and characterizing IV and CV of TFT or OLED devices

Experience in characterizing panel optical and electrical performance

Experience in gate, column driver IC and other display electronics designs

Experience building repeatable automation for simulation, measurement, and data-analysis flows such as Python-driven SPICE sweeps, layout scripting, parametric extraction, log and dataset triage

Effective use of AI-assisted development tools to accelerate the above, with sound judgment on where results must be verified deterministically rather than accepted as generated

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Minimum Qualifications

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

Hands-on experience creating 2D physical layout in a CAD environment such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Laker, or equivalent, including design rule verification and parasitic RC extraction

Hands-on experience performing circuit simulation with a SPICE-class simulator such as Spectre, HSPICE, or equivalent, including device model setup and interpretation of simulation results

Understanding the basics of TFT, OLED and panel processes
