Hardware System Integration Electrical Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Hardware System Integration Electrical Engineer (Mac)

• Focus: Electrical & system design integration for Mac development platform

Description

Design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem for all-in-one computers, including schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, bring-up, debug, and validation for Apple Silicon product implementation. Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, software, silicon, and module teams (wireless, camera, sensing, display) to integrate and troubleshoot constrained, multilayer PCB designs and electrical interfaces. Work across both digital and analog domains, including power/voltage regulator integration and high-speed signal integrity validation.

Responsibilities

• Create electrical designs (schematic capture and PCB layout) for constrained multilayer PCBs (HDI, fine-pitch BGAs)

• Run simulation, bring-up, debug, and validation for electrical subsystems and interfaces

• Coordinate PCB layout work for highly constrained boards

• Support cross-functional teams during system-level troubleshooting and integration

• Validate low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces and electrical power/voltage integration

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 and tradeoffs

• Working knowledge of interface design/validation: I2C/SMBus, SPMI, SPI, I2S/TDM, USB, MIPI, PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt

• Experience with lab tools (25 GHz oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, instrumentation amplifiers) including protocol decode

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

• Experience partnering with software/firmware teams for bring-up, validation, and test of circuits and communication interfaces

• Experience with constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine-pitch BGAs; familiarity with Allegro or similar tools

• Experience designing for high-speed and high-power cables and flex boards; multi-layer flexible PCBs

• Ability to perform component datasheet analysis and selection for schematic capture

• Capability in both digital and analog design (power sensing, filtering, etc.)

Benefits

• Opportunity to work across multiple technology areas and remain general or specialize over time to build domain expertise

• Collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment with opportunities for leadership, learning, and problem-solving

• Emphasis on curiosity, creativity, integrity, teamwork, and passion for learning
