Solid understanding of communication protocols ( e.g. USB, Bluetooth, UART, SPI, I2C )

Experience implementing firmware in bare-metal or RTOS environments

Strong board bring-up and debug skills

Ability to communicate clearly with peers and management

Description
As a HID firmware engineer working on many of Apple's embedded sensors, you will be encouraged to:

Bring up new sensing chipsets and processors from initial specification to production

Work with cross-functional teams and lead technical opens to closure

Quickly debug and optimally close out system issues related to your firmware

Implement, and maintain complex firmware designs

Write clean, easy to understand, robust, and balanced code tailored for embedded systems

Negotiate, specify and document communication protocols, system states, and FW/SW feature requirements with multi-functional teams

Define power management strategies, and review schematics with the HW team

Collaborate with the QE teams to inform and craft their white-box testing

Education & Experience
BSCS/CE/EECS MSCS/CE/EECS or equivalent

Additional Requirements
