About the role
You will lead a multidisciplinary program to transition new sensing technology from research to a shippable product. This involves coordinating across hardware, firmware, software, and machine learning teams while managing technical risks and aligning stakeholders.
What they look for
Requirements
Candidates must have a B.Sc. in a STEM field and over 10 years of experience in engineering program management for complex hardware or multidisciplinary products. Strong technical depth and the ability to influence in a matrixed, multinational environment are essential.
Full description
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new insights have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. We're looking for an Engineering Program Manager (EPM) to lead a multidisciplinary program that takes a new sensing technology from research to product. The program covers HW, sensing, mechanical engineering, FW, SW, and ML. You will turn early research into a roadmap that can ship, and keep the teams aligned around one goal: a new kind of interaction experience for Apple users. This is not a typical execution role. You'll work closely with researchers and engineers while driving and supporting execution. You'll know when to give exploration room and when to push toward productization. You'll be fluent in both scientific uncertainty and product discipline.
Description
You'll be the central point of coordination for a program that moves through research, feasibility, prototyping, and product development at the same time. Working with world-class scientists, engineers, and ML experts in Israel and the US, you'll define the plan, make technical risk visible, and help leadership make clear decisions when the path forward isn't obvious. Along with engineering leadership, you'll be the face of the program.
Minimum Qualifications
B.Sc. in a STEM field (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering) 10+ years of relevant experience, including significant engineering program management experience in HW or multidisciplinary product development Proven record of delivering complex programs that span HW, FW/SW, and algorithms Experience working directly with research teams and moving early-stage technology toward product Technical depth to engage credibly on details across domains while driving overall program execution Excellent communication and presentation skills, including the ability to summarize complex technical data for executive audiences Experience leading through influence in a matrixed, multinational environment Curiosity about AI tools and interest in applying them to engineering and program workflows Ability and willingness to travel internationally
Preferred Qualifications
M.Sc. in a STEM field Background in workign on ML based technolgy and integration into products Experience with sensing technologies or physics-driven HW development Experience in consumer electronics or wearable devices Experience managing prototype builds and supplier engagements Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration; self-motivated, calm under pressure, and creative in solving undefined problems Experience working across time zones with US-based teams
