Apple is seeking a System EE for iMac electrical & system design integration.
The candidate will design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem
of the world’s best all-in-one computers within a collaborative cross-functional
team, working with mechanical engineering, software, silicon engineering, and
other module teams such as wireless, camera, sensing, and display. Our engineers
rely on skills in computer system architecture, schematic design, digital and
analog circuits, power and voltage regulator integration, high speed signal
integrity concepts, PCB design, bring up and system level troubleshooting to
surprise and delight millions of customers.

DESCRIPTION

Day to day tasks involve electrical design (both schematic capture and PCB
layout), simulation, bringup, debug, and validation for Macs. EE’s are
responsible for both schematic capture and coordinating layout of highly
constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs. Routine
responsibilities also include bring-up, validation, factory build support, and
multi-disciplinary cross-functional collaboration and negotiation. We are
looking for well-rounded candidates with a broad set of skill and interests, and
the curiosity to dig deep wherever necessary to solve challenging problems.
Opportunities exist to sample a variety of technology areas, and to remain
general or specialize over time, developing domain expertise.

Requirements

• Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field of study.
• Strong EE fundamentals, grounded in a solid understanding of E&M physics and first principles with an understanding of computer / system architecture and the associated design tradeoffs.
• Working knowledge of design and validation requirements for common low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPMI, SPI, JTAG, I2S/TDM, USB, MIPI, PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt.
• Experience in circuit design for a variety of domains including power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, programmable logic, and/or wireless.
• Excellent written and verbal communication/presentation skills.

Nice To Haves

• Schematic capture and constraint-driven PCB layout using Cadence tools or similar.
• Experience with PCB bringup and debug, including new or custom silicon, using standard EE lab equipment: Soldering, DMM, Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer, Spectrum Analyzer.
• Experience with complex data analysis, data visualization and script development.
• Beyond technical aptitude, we prize curiosity, creativity, integrity, leadership, teamwork, and a passion for learning.
