Hardware Systems Integration Engineer
Here at Apple, we believe that the right blend of hardware, software, and curated experiences can transform a house into a home that serves and entertains its residents. This is your opportunity to join Apple's Home Hardware group and help build the future!
We're seeking a highly motivated engineer with a passion for elegant design and deep electrical system architecture expertise to shape the hardware for our groundbreaking devices. You'll contribute innovative solutions from product concept to production, leveraging your problem-solving and hands-on hardware development skills.
Description
In this role, you will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team to develop and integrate cutting-edge hardware systems for future Apple products. You will own critical aspects of the electrical architecture and implementation, ranging from schematic design and layout to bring-up, debug, and validation. Success in this role requires not just deep technical expertise, but also strong product intuition and a systems-level mindset. We're looking for someone who can dive into the details, yet consistently elevate conversations to ensure alignment with user experience and product vision.
The ideal candidate is a proactive problem solver who thrives in ambiguity, brings clarity through structured and creative thinking, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves. They communicate with empathy and precision, tailoring messages to resonate across audiences and disciplines. A strong sense of ownership, a product-first mentality, and a collaborative spirit are essential. You should be someone who can identify opportunities others may miss, form compelling ideas, and drive them into action, whether that means hands-on technical work, thoughtful cross-functional alignment, or shaping the future direction of the product.
