Job Details
Apple is seeking an enthusiastic electrical engineer for the Mac Hardware Engineering team. As a part of the team, you will help with concept and feature development, rapid prototyping, production part selection and product integration. Our engineers rely on skills in computer system architecture, schematic design, digital and analog circuits, power and voltage regulator integration, high speed signal integrity concepts, PCB design, bring up and system level trouble-shooting to surprise and delight millions of customers!
Description The Hardware engineer will be a part of the Mac team. The candidate will design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem, develop test and failure analysis procedures to ensure a high level of quality for the product. RESPONSIBILITIES: Component data-sheet analysis and selection for schematic capture Coordinate layout of highly constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs Forecast and plan design time to meet constrained schedules Drive design tradeoffs across manufacturing, test, mechanical, thermal, performance, reliability, battery life, and electrical stake-holders Prototype bring-up, debug, functional verification, and electrical characterization Use advanced lab tools such as 25 GHz oscilloscopes, network analyzers, and BERT scopes to judge the quality and adaptability of electrical designs. Analyze factory-scale data to adjust signal parameters for maximum margin Review designs of factory test fixtures, ensure manufacturing test plans provide adequate coverage to ensure the design is assembled accurately Debug problems found in manufacturing, feedback root cause and corrective action into design or manufacturing process in preparation for high volume. Communicate and present status on concurrent top issues and deadlines Travel to foreign contract manufacturer (estimate 5 weeks per year)
Minimum Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
Pay & Benefits At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role.
