Employer job description
From Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Join Apple's innovative hardware team as a Capacitor Component Technologist, where you will own Apple's technology strategy across the polymer, electrolytic, film, and safety capacitor families — driving critical component solutions from initial concept to high-volume mass production across all Apple product lines.
Description
In this senior role, you will serve as the primary technical expert bridging Apple's cross-functional teams with our global network of capacitor suppliers across the full non-MLCC capacitor space: tantalum polymer (including PFAS-free transition), aluminum polymer, aluminum electrolytic, film, safety/Y-rated, and emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies.
You will be responsible for predicting component performance from supplier process choices — pellet morphology and sintering chemistry, oxide film formation kinetics, foil etch architecture, winding geometry, and conductive polymer chemistry — rather than relying on datasheet specifications, and will set Apple's technology direction across these families 3+ years ahead of integration.
