At Apple, we push the boundaries of what's possible - and nowhere is that more evident than in the infrastructure that powers our most ambitious technologies. The Data Center Hardware Engineering Team designs and delivers the high-performance compute solutions that underpin Apple's services and products at scale. From custom silicon to full-system integration, our work ensures that Apple's global infrastructure is fast, efficient, and built to last. Every system we ship reflects our relentless commitment to engineering excellence and our belief that great hardware is the foundation of great experiences.
The Hardware System Integration team sits at the heart of this mission, owning the design and realization of customized compute platforms from concept to mass production. We're looking for a Hardware System Integration Engineer who thrives in a highly collaborative environment, enjoys working across disciplines, and is energized by the challenge of bringing cutting-edge hardware to life.
Description
As a Hardware System Integration Engineer, you will own the end-to-end hardware engineering lifecycle for high-performance compute designs - from initial specification and schematic capture through board bring-up, validation, and factory build support. You will serve as a cross-functional partner to mechanical, power, software, firmware, silicon, and reliability teams, ensuring design requirements are met with precision and at scale. This role demands both technical expertise and strong communication skills to drive alignment across a broad set of stakeholders.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent work experience
3+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering
Working knowledge of common low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPI, JTAG, USB, PCIe, Ethernet (SGMII, RMII, QSFP), and DDR memory
Broad circuit design experience across multiple domains: power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, and/or programmable logic
Experience with PCB bring-up and characterization using standard EE lab equipment (soldering, DMM, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer)
Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware issues from the system level down to the circuit/transistor level
Outstanding written, verbal, and visual communication skills, with experience producing functional specs, integration procedures, and technical documentation
Preferred Qualifications
High-speed PCB design experience with 10+ layer boards, including PCB material selection and stackup definition
Proficiency with schematic entry and high-speed PCB layout constraint management using Cadence tools or equivalent
Hands-on PCIe, 100-GbE, USB3/USB4, or similar high-speed serial protocol experience, including compliance testing and protocol analyzer debug
Familiarity with computer architecture concepts and hardware design tradeoffs
Experience developing automation or data manipulation scripts
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
7+ years of relevant industry work experience in hardware or systems engineering
