System Instrument Design Architect Engineer

Summary
The HWTE Electrical Engineering Instrument Team is working on an innovative test instrument solutions to Apple product for the electrical performance of iOS devices. The System Instrument Design Architect Engineer is responsible for architecting every the new instrument from early concept phase to detailed block diagrams that can be completed. This work includes close collaboration with both internal and external technology, silicon and module development teams on new feature exploration and improvements, definition of key instrument and/or chipset selection and nailing down instrument capability and trade offs.

The candidate ideally has strengths in several functional areas to lead, drive or influence instrument module roadmaps and feature definitions. You should have experience analyzing systems, making architectural and implementation trade-offs; design of dedication, high quality, low cost instrument solution; scope component area requirements, interconnect requirements, integration challenges, Signal & Power integrity, Electromagnetic coexistence and power budgeting and analysis. This position requires strong written and verbal communication skills.
