Apple is seeking a System EE for iMac electrical & system design integration. The candidate will design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem of the world's best all-in-one computers within a collaborative cross-functional team, working with mechanical engineering, software, silicon engineering, and other module teams such as wireless, camera, sensing, and display. Our engineers rely on skills in computer system architecture, schematic design, digital and analog circuits, power and voltage regulator integration, high speed signal integrity concepts, PCB design, bring up and system level troubleshooting to surprise and delight millions of customers!
Description
Day to day tasks involve electrical design (both schematic capture and PCB layout), simulation, bringup, debug, and validation for Macs. EE's are responsible for both schematic capture and coordinating layout of highly constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs. Routine responsibilities also include bring-up, validation, factory build support, and multi-disciplinary cross-functional collaboration and negotiation. We are looking for well-rounded candidates with a broad set of skill and interests, and the curiosity to dig deep wherever necessary to solve challenging problems. Opportunities exist to sample a variety of technology areas, and to remain general or specialize over time, developing domain expertise.
