Hardware System Validation Engineer

Join the system validation team at Apples Hardware Engineering where we validate system-level performance of Apple SoCs and other key modules (cameras displays and other state-of-the-art sensors) in a system environment that mirrors real product use.

In this role you will:nn- Primarily validate Apple SoCs while also running testing on other modules such as cameras displays and sensors that ship in Apple productsn- Work closely with module designers and functional test writers to understand high-level architectures of each IP block within Apple SoCs or other modules and define applicable validation plansn- Develop and execute these system tests leveraging scripts and automation frameworks on a large volume of engineering prototypes throughout the product life cyclesn- Serve as the first line of debug when issues occur triaging isolating and bucketizing failuresn- Partner with domain experts to define DoEs (Design of Experiments) develop root-cause theories and test possible workaroundsn- Development of automated testing for power consumption data collection from our battery and power supply systemsn- Creation of new test methodologies to expand test coverage to new modalities including optical / computer-vision based testingn- Optimize test and calibration flows for hardware sub-systems. Apply AI/ML techniques for test data mining anomaly detection and factory data analyticsn- Travel internationally 10% of the time

Bachelors degree or higher in Engineering or a related fieldn3 years of experience with hardware/software architecture and interoperability of complex systemsnScripting proficiency in Python; comfortable building and maintaining automation frameworksnExperience in one of the following: hardware system design and integration SoC design/integration debug/testing or validation

Experience with SoC bring up familiar with computer architectures (cache memory hierarchy data pipelines) and logic designnExperience with bringing-up and testing of camera display or any other modules in consumer electronics nExperience in silicon validation software engineering or related fieldnExperience with embedded system debugnExperience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and thermal chambersnStrong proficiency in Python and Lua; proficient in Shell with industry standards (USB PCIe DDR etc.)nGeneral software development experience (Python C log review code review)nStrong communication and collaboration skills
