About the role

Apple seeks a world-class TFT panel design engineer to design, develop and launch next-generation display technologies. The role focuses on architecting and developing complete TFT pixel and panel designs, panel modeling, simulation, on-panel IC design, and advancing simulation methodologies with automation and AI-assisted workflows.

Responsibilities

  • TFT panel architecture scoping and definition
  • TFT device design, modeling, simulation and characteristics measurement
  • Pixel and panel design, layout and parasitic parameter extraction
  • TFT Pixel and panel modeling, characterization, and validation
  • On-panel integrated circuit design, simulation and validation on rigid and flexible substrates
  • Develop and maintain design automation for panel simulation, characterization, and measurement data analysis
  • Establish simulation methodology and best practices for the panel design team
  • Failure mode analysis, root cause investigation, and problem solving
  • New TFT technologies exploration, investigation, and validation
  • International business travel to support project implementation
  • Engage and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including TFT process, Display Optics, Touch EE, Display EE, and Mechanical Engineering
  • Collaborate with external vendors for display manufacturing

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • 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
  • 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
