Home Hardware Systems Engineer

The Home Hardware team is looking for a highly motivated and creative Electrical Engineer to help define prototype 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 engineers software developers and industrial designers to architect complex systems spin up rapid proof-of-concept hardware and evaluate the technologies that will enable entirely new accessible and intuitive experiences in our customers personal spaces.

As a Home Hardware System EE you will be responsible for the electrical definition and rapid realization of early-stage concepts. Your day-to-day work will span high-level system architecture to hands-on bench-level prototyping. You will research and select novel sensors compute modules power electronics and electromechanical technologies driving the electrical architecture from a blank whiteboard to a fully functioning prototype. You will need to constantly balance performance power thermals acoustic noise and safetyensuring our products bring surprise and delight to customers.

Defining end-to-end electrical architectures for novel systemsnDesigning and building rapid proof-of-concept electronics including schematic capture component selection and guiding PCB closely with Industrial Design Mechanical Engineering Software and AIML teams to negotiate complex system trade-offs and integrate electronics seamlessly into physical up new prototype boards debugging complex mixed-signal systems and integrating edge compute motor drivers and high-bandwidth sensors (vision audio LiDAR IMU).nEvaluating and benchmarking new silicon sensors and power technologies from internal teams and external basic bring-up code or scripts (C/C or Python) to validate hardware functionality before handing it off to core software an inclusive and deeply collaborative environment where diverse perspectives are leveraged to solve deeply technical unprecedented problems.

BS in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or equivalent practical experience.n5 years of industry experience in hardware design specifically in rapid prototyping architecture or Ru0026D electrical engineering fundamentals across digital analog mixed-signal and power delivery (DC-DC) experience in system-level architecture and component selection for embedded systems consumer electronics or electromechanical -on experience with sensor integration microcontrollers/SoCs and standard digital interfaces (I2C SPI UART MIPI USB PCIe).nProficiency with schematic capture tools (e.g. Cadence Concept/Allegro Altium) and a solid understanding of PCB layout principles for signal integrity and power experience in a lab environment: board bring-up debugging and using oscilloscopes logic analyzers and multimeters.

MS or PhD in electrical engineering or similar fieldnExperience leading teams through product development cycle from concept development to production bring upnLarge scale data analysis and knowledge of statistical communication skills with the ability to distill
