Hardware System EE Architect

The Home Hardware team is looking for a highly motivated and creative Hardware Architect to help define architect and build the future of Apple home product this 0-to-1 role you will be at the forefront of early-stage product exploration operating at the intersection of hardware software and user experience. You will work with a diverse cross-functional team of mechanical software and controls engineers to architect complex systems.

As a Home Hardware System EE Architect you will be responsible for the electrical definition and feasibility studies early-stage concepts. Your day-to-day work will span high-level system architecture to hands-on bench-level evaluation of key systems. You will research and select novel sensors compute architectures power electronics and electromechanical technologies driving the electrical architecture from a blank whiteboard to a fully functioning system.u2028u2028 In this role you will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team spanning mechanical controls perception and software to develop and integrate cutting-edge hardware systems for future Apple products. You will own critical aspects of the electrical architecture and implementation of systems that combine real-time control dynamic power loads and rich multi-modal sensing. Success in this role requires not just deep technical expertise but also strong product intuition and a systems-level mindset that accounts for the unique challenges of products.
