We live in a mobile and device-driven world where knowledge of the physical world around us is essential. Apple is meeting those needs as robustly and creatively as possible, and we're looking for people who want to help us achieve that commitment. The Imaging and Sensing Incubation team develops design solutions for user experiences and new technologies across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBooks, and more. Our team creates early-stage hardware systems integrating cameras, non-vision sensors like IMUs, magnetometers, accelerometers, microphones, and ambient light sensors, including systems that enable Apple Intelligence features. We offer a collaborative, inclusive, hands-on environment that cultivates engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.
Description
Apple's Incubation team is seeking an FPGA Design Engineer to bring hardware systems to life, systems essential to delivering future products, features, and Apple Intelligence capabilities. You'll develop FPGA-based platforms from architecture through hardware bring-up, building multi-sensor acquisition and processing systems and influencing hardware, algorithm, and system design decisions. You'll have the autonomy to make design decisions and see their impact in working hardware. Work hands on in the lab with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers while collaborating with and learning from world-class experts in electrical engineering, sensor modules, product design, software, and system teams. Your work will directly shape how future Apple products see, hear, and sense the world around them.
Minimum Qualifications
Proficiency with FPGA design tools such as Vivado, Lattice Radiant, design constraints, familiarity with AMD (Xilinx) and Lattice FPGA technologies
Strong System Verilog or Verilog RTL design skills
Experience with communication interfaces and protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, MIPI, DP, high-speed serial interfaces)
Troubleshooting and analytical skills using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, ChipScope, and Reveal
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with image/signal processing implementation in FPGA (ISP pipelines, filtering, frame buffering)
Understanding of low-level software (firmware and/or drivers in C or C++) and Python/Tcl for automation and test
Good understanding of CDC and FPGA timing constraints
CI/CD for FPGA builds, version control best practices, and regression testing methodologies
AI-assisted coding and design experience
Good judgment and understanding of system-level impact of design choices
Strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills
Passionate about learning and working in a fast-paced incubation environment
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with FPGA design experience delivering FPGAs from concept to implementation
