Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their best work. Passion works here, our community is made up of every kind of individual: artists and designers, engineers and scientists, problem solvers and doers. Together we build things and experiences people once couldn’t have imagined — and now can’t imagine living without. So if you’re excited by the idea of making a real impact, a career with Apple might be your dream job. Just be ready to dream big!
We are looking for a Hardware Engineer that can help close the gap between design and manufacturing by working closely with the factory teams to own the integration of various power and sensing technology modules in the iPhone. This is done in partnership with multiple teams including factory, EE, architecture, FW, system EE, silicon, noise and vibration, safety, thermal, reliability, operations, regulatory teams and more. This role involves technical engagement for on-site build support starting from product concept stage and engineering prototype builds, all the way up until release to mass production.
Key Qualifications
- 3+ years proven experience in related field (ideally consumer or high volume product development environment)
- Proven fundamentals in both analog and digital design and comfortable with solving new challenges with critical thinking and problem solving skills
- Familiar with various communication protocols (USB, SPMI, SPI, I2C and UART) and low power embedded systems.
- Experience working with multi-functional FW partners. Direct coding experience in languages such as Python, Matlab and C is preferred.
- Hands-on experience in prototype bring-up, debugging, and functional verification.
- Experience with high volume product design and manufacturing as well as statistical production tolerance analysis. Good understanding of Gauge R&R methodology would be a plus.

- Team player with the ability to work independently and drive things with minimal direction
Description
You will be at the centre of iPhone product development, driving failure analysis and key validation activities of technical multi-functional issues at the Contract Manufacturer’s site across various engineering builds. This involves working daily with multi-functional technology partners in a fast paced environment across a variety of time zones including India, China, US and New Zealand.
Additionally, you will work closely with the engineering teams employed by the contract manufacturers to help train them on product-specific technology to enable them to drive a lot of the day-to-day activities during an Apple engineering build including build reporting, failure analysis, design of experiment execution, verification and validation activities, and general build logistics.
- System bring-up, characterisation, testing and validation
- System-level problem solving - failure analysis, root cause & corrective action proposal
- Debug test sequences on automated test equipment
- Design of Experiments (DOE) creation, execution and data analysis
- Write technical documentation (Eg. requirements, specifications and test plans)
