The Mac Systems Architect at Apple plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of charging and power management systems for Mac products. This position is not just about creating products; it’s about innovating and revolutionizing entire industries through advanced technology and diverse ideas. The architect will be responsible for providing comprehensive system architecture guidance, particularly in the realm of charging systems and battery life optimization. This role requires a deep understanding of system requirements for Charger Integrated Circuits (IC) and the ability to establish and drive workload power budgets at both system and module levels. In this multi-disciplinary and cross-functional lead engineering role, the architect will perform and guide peak power measurements on device hardware to validate power models, ensuring that product designs meet performance, size, power, thermal, and cost goals. Collaboration is key, as the architect will work closely with mechanical, physical, thermal, and electrical engineering teams to assess product system integration feasibility. The role also involves authoring system architecture specifications and block diagrams, conducting reviews with product teams, and collaborating with performance architects to drive improvements in performance, power efficiency, and cost. The Mac Systems Architect will also analyze and support thermal management solutions, anticipate future System on Chip (SoC) requirements, and negotiate with internal SoC teams to align with product goals. Innovation and curiosity are essential, as the architect will explore and champion new product-level features and workflows. Mentoring junior engineers and providing architectural guidance to cross-functional teams will be part of the responsibilities, ensuring that best practices and data-driven processes are followed throughout the design and development phases.
