Apple is seeking a self-driven, hardworking electrical engineer to support Mac product design, testing, characterization, failure analysis, and manufacturing. The role contributes to next-generation mobile Mac products from concept through mass production, taking ownership of characterization and debugging frameworks and helping optimize Mac system quality. The engineer will work with cross-functional engineering teams and serve as the electrical engineering technical contact at an OEM site, supporting engineering activities and factory issues. The position includes local-site electrical characterization, test-report analysis, lab investigations, software development to improve workflows, and support for post-ramp quality issues. The role may require travel to support worldwide operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in an electrical engineering-related major.
• Hands-on electrical engineering laboratory experience and familiarity with equipment such as oscilloscopes, power sources, electronic loads, and TDRs.
• Familiarity with laboratory activities such as board or system bring-up and issue debugging, and sensitivity to circuit behavior.
• Programming or scripting skills, such as Python or Shell, for automating laboratory setups, programming test instruments, parsing engineering data, and streamlining repetitive tasks.
• Proven electrical engineering knowledge in at least one of these areas: power design, EMC, signal or power integrity, or industry-standard protocols such as DP, USB, I2C/SPI, SDIO, or SPMI.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills in both English and Chinese.
• Highly proactive, able to drive tasks independently, and able to adapt quickly to fast-moving project schedules.
