Mechatronics Controls Engineer

One of Apple’s R&D groups is seeking a Mechatronics Controls Engineer to develop, prototype, and validate complex, next-generation electro-mechanical-sensor driven systems. This engineer will develop custom sensor calibration, signal processing, estimation, and controls algorithms for a host of product concepts. Typical work includes real-world modeling, simulation, machine learned and traditional algorithms, embedded implementation, and testing in the real world. We are looking for a hands-on creative individual eager to push performance boundaries on cutting-edge hardware.

In this role you will partner with other mechanical, electrical, control, embedded FW, and AIML resources to develop end-to-end mechatronics experiences.

PhD in Engineering, Robotics or CS Strong knowledge in classical/modern control theory, robotics, and digital signal processing Experience with rotary sensing (encoders), inertial measurement systems, and inertial state propagation

MS in Engineering, Robotics, or CS 8+ years of related experience and skilled in the of development, theory, design, modeling, and implementation of control systems Deep understanding of kinematics, dynamics and equations of motion for dynamic systems. Experience in hardware/software integration and physical system debugging Proficient in C/C++ and Python or MATLAB Experience with modern software development workflows, version control (e.g., Git), and genAI developer productivity tools (e.g., Claude)
