As a Platform Firmware Engineer at the Core Technology Platform Firmware team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the foundational firmware that powers Apple’s products. Your responsibilities include defining boot flows, security models, and hardware/software interfaces for new devices, driving initial bring-up efforts on first silicon, and developing robust ROM code with rigorous defensive architecture. You will collaborate closely with hardware, silicon vendors, and security teams to ensure seamless integration and reliability throughout the product lifecycle. Proficiency in C and Assembly, expertise in ARM architectures, and hands-on experience with early boot and Secure Boot implementation are essential. Additionally, familiarity with power state transitions, low-power firmware design, and direct experience with silicon teams on errata investigation will be highly beneficial as you navigate complex build environments and manage deliverables across multiple repositories and SDKs.
