Apple's Optical Engineering team in Cupertino, California is seeking a Simulation Development Engineer for on-site work to drive end-to-end optical modeling and simulation across the development life cycle. You will develop state-of-the-art end-to-end modeling and simulation solutions for Optical Imaging Systems, enabling early feedback to product design and scalable pipelines for future technologies. The engineer will validate, apply, and scale simulation tools, and collaborate with cross-functional hardware and product teams to present findings and drive decisions. The role requires a Bachelor's degree in Optics, Imaging Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field; programming experience in Python, Matlab, and/or C/C++/C#; and experience modeling and simulating optical systems using Zemax, Code V, or similar tools. Preferred qualifications include an MS or PhD in Optical Sciences, Imaging Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field; 10+ years of industry experience developing software for optical, imaging, or photonics systems; proficiency with software engineering practices (Git, unit testing, CI/CD, release distribution and documentation); familiarity with imaging metrics such as PSF, MTF, wavefront error, and optical aberrations; experience deploying simulation workloads on cloud or HPC platforms (AWS, GCP, or equivalent); ability to present technical findings to cross-functional teams; familiarity with Zemax OpticStudio, CODE V, or similar tools; and scripting or extending th
