Display Module Engineer at Apple in California

Are you passionate about innovative display technology and precision engineering? Apple’s Mac Display Engineering team is seeking a talented and driven Display Engineer to lead the development of cutting-edge flat panel displays from initial concept through mass production. In this role, you will serve as a key technical interface between system design, display electrical and optical engineering, mechanical engineering, and global supply partners. You will own the end-to-end development of display modules—driving design, validation, and integration to ensure industry-leading visual experiences for millions of users. Join us and help shape the future of how people interact with Mac products through world-class display technology.

As a Display Engineer on the Mac team, you will play a key role in defining and developing next-generation display technologies. You will collaborate with internal cross-functional teams, —including optical, electrical, mechanical, process, and panel design engineers—as well as serve as the primary technical contact with external display suppliers.
