TL;DR · Sensing HW Design Electrical Engineer

Apple's Data Collection System team is seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to join their dynamic hardware development group. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to design high-performance prototype systems that support advanced applications in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Photography. Day-to-day responsibilities include proposing and negotiating EE solutions, designing digital and analog circuits, leading PCB layout reviews, building proof-of-concept prototypes, and managing interactions with contract manufacturers for system builds. The ideal candidate should have expertise in processor peripheral interfaces, signal and power integrity protocols, and lab equipment usage. Preferred qualifications include experience with SOC’s, microcontrollers, FPGA’s, camera electrical protocols, and the ability to take designs from concept through manufacturing and test. This position offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology that pushes the boundaries of user experience in future Apple products.

What you'll do

  • Propose and design EE solutions to meet functional and performance goals.
  • Design and capture schematics for digital and analog electrical circuits.
  • Lead PCB layout creation and review processes.
  • Build proof-of-concept hardware prototypes for evaluation.
  • Execute plans to bring-up and validate designs for functionality.
  • Debug prototype hardware and provide ongoing support.
  • Manage interactions with contract manufacturers during system builds.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in designing processor peripheral interfaces like PCIe, USB, I2C, SPI, storage, high-speed serial interfaces, and power supply.
  • Strong knowledge of signal and power integrity protocols for PCB layout and construction.
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multi-meters.
  • Electronics expertise in SOC’s, microcontrollers, microprocessors (ARM), FPGA’s, camera electrical protocols, and sensors/transducers.
  • Ability to manage contract manufacturer interactions and support CM test during system builds.
  • Experience taking designs from concept through manufacturing & testing, including mechanical assembly for quick prototypes.
