Hardware System Engineer (AirPods System Technologies)

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware System Engineer focused on AirPods System Technologies

Description

Develop system-level electrical specifications and analyze/review custom-silicon designs, including how sensing and signal-processing subsystems integrate into the broader architecture. Evaluate interface and data-path efficiency, investigate new technologies, and perform feasibility studies for novel systems during early concept phases. Translate end-user features into low-level electrical and architectural specifications across the full signal chain (analog front ends, sensing modules, digital processing, and firmware interfaces), managing power/size tradeoffs and potential coexistence issues.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent)

• 7+ years of proven experience in electronic system design, or in top-level chip architecture/specification

• Excellent electrical engineering fundamentals (basic circuits, analog, digital, power)

• Familiarity working with open-ended constraints and relying on understanding the user experience to define electrical requirements

Benefits

• Opportunity to define foundational technologies for future products

• Work on system integration and architecture under extremely tight power and physical envelopes

• Early concept feasibility and technology evaluation across sensing, signal processing, and custom silicon
