Exploratory Design, part of Platform Architecture, is seeking to fill a position in technology exploration, physics modeling, and numerical optimization. Exploratory Design helps Apple by building hardware prototypes that demonstrates the possibility of technological approaches that would otherwise be too risky to include in our product roadmaps. We work in a wide variety of technical fields and compare disparate ways of approaching the same challenge.

Description

For this role, we are looking for a candidate that will be well-versed in a broad range of mathematical techniques used to simulate and optimize physical systems. You will help investigate multiple alternative ways of reaching customer-focused end goals through a quantitative exploration of potential approaches. Further, you will also need to possess the following; • Ability to drive technical investigations into the feasibility of alternative approaches to problems and help us sort the impossible from the feasible. • Ability to communicate with a team that has highly diverse technical backgrounds and tune the level of technical detail they present. • Ability to thrive in an environment where goals and approaches fluctuate rapidly.

• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.
• Experience with numerical simulation and optimization in at least in one of C, C++, Python, or MATLAB.

• Ph.D. or equivalent in mathematical modeling, mathematical physics, mathematical engineering, or a similar field.
• Understanding of physics and how to numerically simulate physical phenomena.
• Command of multiple techniques in convex and non-convex numerical optimization.
• Experience in simulations involving computational Physics.
• Ability to choose and conduct appropriate statistical analyses to support scientific inferences.
• Use of cutting edge techniques in high performance computing.

At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role.
