Hardware Development Engineer
Cupertino, California
Summary
Apple is seeking an enthusiastic electrical engineer for the Mac Engineering Team. As a part of the Mac team, you will help with concept and feature development, rapid prototyping, production part selection and product integration.
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 trouble-shooting to surprise and delight millions of customers.
Key Qualifications
High-volume consumer electronics system experience preferred.
Lab skills: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, electronic loads
Experience with schematic and PCB physical design using Cadence Concept and Allegro or similar CAD tools
Design experience in digital logic, simulation, power conversion and delivery
Familiarity with RF/wireless concepts
Experience with high-speed serial and memory interfaces including signal integrity design and measurement fundamentals
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Command line interface and scripting skills
Specific deep expertise in several of the following areas is a plus: CPU or GPU microarchitecture, batteries, power management, analog design, audio, wireless, DisplayPort, PCIe, Thunderbolt, USB, SPI, I2C, UART, analog sensors, interconnect
Statistical data analysis and visualization (ex. JMP) is a bonus
Description
The hardware engineer will design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem, develop test and failure analysis procedures to ensure a high level of quality for the product.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Component data-sheet analysis
- Coordinate layout of highly constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs
- Forecast and plan design time to meet constrained schedules
- Drive design tradeoffs across manufacturing, test, thermal, performance, reliability, battery life, and electrical team members
- Prototype bring-up, debug, functional verification, and electrical characterization
- Use advanced lab tools such as 25 GHz oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and BERT scopes to judge the quality and reliability of electrical designs.
- Analyze factory-scale data to adjust signal parameters for maximum margin
- Review designs of factory test fixtures, ensure manufacturing test plans provide adequate coverage to ensure the design is assembled accurately
- Debug problems found in manufacturing, feedback root cause and corrective action into design or manufacturing process in preparation for high-volume.
- Communicate and present status on concurrent top issues and timelines
- Travel to foreign contract manufacturer (estimate 5 weeks per year)
Education & Experience
- Minimum 5 years relevant industry work experience.
- BS in electrical or computer engineering required. MS preferred
