Are you driven by the thrill of solving unprecedented challenges and redefining what's possible at the very foundation of computing? At Apple, you won't just contribute; you'll innovate, impacting over 1.8 billion devices and delighting millions globally. This is your chance to gain an insider's perspective on how we craft groundbreaking products by ensuring the integrity of our cutting-edge silicon.

Description
We're seeking a passionate and skilled Embedded Firmware Engineer to play a pivotal role in delivering the next generation of Apple silicon. In this highly visible position, you'll be at the intersection of hardware and software, collaborating closely with logic designers to deeply understand system-level operations and performance requirements for hardware validation.

In this role, you will develop critical low-level embedded firmware specifically designed to validate hardware functionality, ensure conformance, and drive performance during the bring-up and testing phases of new silicon. This involves designing, developing, and integrating complex drivers, diagnostic tests, and infrastructure essential for SoC bring-up, post-silicon validation, and debugging activities. Ultimately, you'll lead hands-on firmware development, system-level validation, and problem-solving at the hardware-software interface in a dynamic, collaborative environment, with your work directly enabling the successful launch of future Apple products by ensuring our silicon meets the highest standards.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with pre-silicon and post-silicon validation methodologies
Familiarity with CPU architectures (e.g., ARM) and low-level system programming
Direct experience with System-on-Chip (SoC) development or validation

Minimum Qualifications
10+ years of experience in embedded firmware development within Real-Time (RT) or Embedded environments
Strong proficiency in C, with a deep understanding of hardware-software interaction
Hands-on expertise with Hardware-Software integrations, particularly for silicon validation and bring-up
Exceptional debugging skills at the firmware and hardware level
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
