TL;DR · Hardware Systems Integration Engineer

The Hardware Systems Integration Engineer joins the Apple Home team to develop and integrate hardware systems for future products featuring complex sensors and electronics. This role involves owning electrical architecture, creating schematics and layouts, performing hardware bringup, debugging, and prototyping proof of concepts. The position requires a deep understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals, including analog design, DC/DC power, signal integrity, and SPICE simulations. Candidates must possess skills in component selection, circuit design, and PCB or flex layout construction. Technical requirements include experience with embedded processor peripheral interfaces such as PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, SPI, and high-speed serial. The role also demands proficiency with test equipment like oscilloscopes and multimeters to conduct functional validation. This position focuses on the technical challenge of developing hardware for home products while ensuring user privacy and security.

What you'll do

  • Define and own complex electrical system architectures and implementations.
  • Create detailed schematics and manage PCB/flex layout responsibilities.
  • Perform hands-on hardware bringup, debugging, and functional validation using test equipment.
  • Develop and prototype proof of concepts for new products.
  • Select components and design circuits focusing on power, signal integrity, and DC/DC systems.
  • Implement embedded processor peripheral interfaces including PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, and SPI.
  • Manage the transition of hardware designs from initial concept to mass production.

What we're looking for

  • BS in electrical engineering or computer engineering required.
  • 2+ years of relevant industry experience focusing on hardware system design.
  • Strong EE fundamentals and analog design knowledge including DC/DC, power, signal integrity, and SPICE simulations.
  • Experience in electrical design including component selection, circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB/flex layout.
  • Knowledge of embedded processor peripheral interfaces such as PCIe, USB, I2C, CAN, SPI, and high-speed serial.
  • Hands-on experience with test equipment like oscilloscopes and multimeters for bring-up, debugging, and validation.
  • Experience taking designs from concept to mass production in the consumer electronics space (preferred).
  • Outstanding communication and presentation abilities to all levels of an organization (preferred).
