Neuro R&D Engineer

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new insights have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Multifaceted, inquisitive people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries. The passion for innovation that goes into our products also imbues our practices and strengthens our dedication to leave the world better than we found it. Help us deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product. Do you love tackling challenges that the world has not yet solved? As a member of our dynamic group, you’ll have the extraordinary opportunity to craft upcoming products that delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers every single day. Apple’s Exploratory Design Group (XDG) has an opening for a creative theoretical neuroscientist with broad interests, some experience, and a yearning to use deep biological insights to produce revolutionary devices and products. Help us envision, design and prototype hardware and algorithms for a new generation of interfaces to engage human nerve signals. Create a new generation of computational systems and applications that exploit the exquisite enhancements and optimizations evolved by nature.Working with a diverse team of experts across Apple, you’ll use your deep knowledge of neuroscience to help create new sensors, interfaces, networks and computational systems, that reach unprecedented levels of performance, efficiency, integration and human value. Using knowledge, imagination, computational modeling, mathematical analysis and electronic analogs, you’ll help explore new paths and engineer new systems. You’ll need to see the forest for the trees and recognize useful general principles at work in large amounts of biological detail. You will help prototype and characterize these devices and systems. You will have the opportunity to work on existing or emerging projects and propose and pursue new projects. You’ll communicate with colleagues and management through informal discussions, slide presentations, white papers, group meetings, and executive briefings as necessary. You will travel to Cupertino several times per year to meet in-person with the larger team. You’ll help us engage with other neuroscience-related groups at Apple and contribute to their projects when that’s valuable. You’ll have the opportunity to supervise interns if you like and will advise on full-time hiring and project choices. You will almost certainly need to learn new things, and will no doubt teach us new things.
