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.\nThis 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.\nDescription\nYou'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.\nMinimum Qualifications\nB.Sc. in a STEM field (e.g., Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering)\n10+ years of relevant experience, including significant engineering program management experience in HW or multidisciplinary product development\nProven record of delivering complex programs that span HW, FW/SW, and algorithms\nExperience working directly with research teams and moving early-stage technology toward product\nTechnical depth to engage credibly on details across domains while driving overall program execution\nExcellent communication and presentation skills, including the ability to summarize complex technical data for executive audiences\nExperience leading through influence in a matrixed, multinational environment\nCuriosity about AI tools and interest in applying them to engineering and program workflows\nAbility and willingness to travel internationally\nPreferred Qualifications\nM.Sc. in a STEM field\nBackground in workign on ML based technolgy and integration into products\nExperience with sensing technologies or physics-driven HW development\nExperience in consumer electronics or wearable devices\nExperience managing prototype builds and supplier engagements\nComfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration; self-motivated, calm under pressure, and creative in solving undefined problems\nExperience working across time zones with US-based teams","description_format":"text","description_chars":2687,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Laptops","Smartwatches & Fitness Trackers","Tablets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T13:38:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":89,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T01:56:11Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T01:56:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4506,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":12},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=12"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapple-engineering-program-manager-novel-sensing"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3965079}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"apple.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3965079},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
