Engineering Program Manager – Novel Sensing
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 10, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 9, 2026. Apple scores A on the Alion truth index.
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)

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
