Hardware System Integration Electrical Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware System Integration Electrical Engineer

Description

Design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem for Mac all-in-one computers. Create schematics and coordinate constraint-driven PCB layouts for highly constrained multilayer boards (HDI and fine-pitch BGAs), including simulation, bring-up, validation, and system-level troubleshooting. Work closely with mechanical, software, silicon, and other module teams to integrate technologies such as wireless, camera, sensing, and display.

Responsibilities

• Electrical design: schematic capture and PCB layout (highly constrained multilayer, HDI, fine-pitch BGAs)

• Simulation and electrical subsystem validation for Apple Silicon-based products

• PCB bring-up, debug, and validation

• High-speed signal integrity, power/voltage regulator integration, and circuit design (digital/analog)

• Cross-functional collaboration with software, firmware, mechanical, silicon, and module teams

• System-level troubleshooting and coordination of layout under tight constraints

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with industry-level practical work experience

• Strong EE fundamentals (E&M physics, first principles) and understanding of computer/system architecture tradeoffs

• Working knowledge of low-speed and high-speed interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPMI, SPI, I2S/TDM, USB, MIPI, PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt

• Experience with lab tools (25 GHz oscilloscope, logic analyzer, instrumentation amplifier) and protocol decode

• Circuit design experience across power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, and/or wireless

• Experience with PCB bring-up/validation and working with software/firmware teams on electrical bring-up and test

• Experience with constrained multilayer PCBs (HDI, fine-pitch BGAs) and PCB design tools such as Allegro

• Ability to analyze component datasheets and perform component selection for schematic capture

Benefits

• Opportunity to work across a range of technology areas and develop domain expertise over time

• Collaborative, cross-functional environment with opportunities to influence design and validation outcomes
