Senior Hardware Systems Design Electrical Engineer (iPhone)

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Hardware System Design Electrical Engineer (iPhone)

Description

Own end-to-end technical responsibility for core electrical subsystems across the full product lifecycle for future iPhone programs. Collaborate with System Architecture, Product Design (PD), Silicon, Battery, Display, Camera, and RF teams to define schematic requirements, PCB stackups, power budgets, and interconnect topologies. Balance signal integrity, thermal dissipation, DFM, and mechanical clearances while delivering ultra-dense HDI rigid boards and complex multi-layer rigid-flex circuits.

Responsibilities

• Architect and design board- and system-level hardware for iPhone programs
• Lead technical ownership for major electrical subsystems from initial architecture through mass production
• Define schematic requirements, PCB stackups, power budgets, and interconnect topologies with cross-functional teams
• Validate and integrate ultra-dense HDI rigid boards and multi-layer rigid-flex circuits
• Debug difficult or intermittent hardware issues using lab test equipment
• Navigate engineering trade-offs across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing constraints

Requirements

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent
• 5+ years of hands-on industry experience delivering complex, high-density consumer electronics or equivalent embedded hardware systems
• Mastery of analog circuit design, high-speed digital buses, and low-voltage power distribution
• Demonstrated track record taking designs from concept through high-volume production
• Hands-on lab experience to debug difficult/intermittent hardware issues

Benefits

• Opportunities for international travel
