MacBook Air design requires thousands of engineering decisions that balance performance, battery life, thermals, reliability, manufacturability, and industrial design. We're looking for talented System EEs who enjoy solving complex system-level tradeoffs and turning ambitious product concepts into products used by millions of people worldwide.

In this role, you will own key aspects of electrical system design and integration, defining, designing, and validating the electrical subsystems that differentiate MacBook Air. You'll collaborate closely with experts from mechanical engineering, Apple Silicon, software, and module technology teams to deliver industry-leading products.

You'll apply your expertise in computer system architecture, circuit design, power delivery, high-speed interfaces, and PCB design to solve some of the industry's most challenging system integration problems-all while maximizing performance, battery life, reliability, and user experience within one of the world's most space-constrained consumer products.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and are excited by solving complex engineering challenges that impact millions of users, we'd love to hear from you.

Description

Day-to-day responsibilities include designing robust electrical subsystems and owning schematic design, simulation, debugging, and validation. As the Design Responsible Individual (DRI) for your subsystem, you will present design proposals and tradeoffs to cross-functional partners, drive technical discussions, and build alignment through design reviews. You will own your subsystem through mass production, partnering with manufacturing and operations to support factory builds, resolve line-down issues, investigate manufacturing issues and yield excursions, and implement design improvements that enhance product quality, manufacturability, and production efficiency.

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with industry-level practical experience.

Strong electrical engineering fundamentals, including analog and digital circuit theory, signal integrity, and power integrity.

Experience in circuit design in one or more areas, including power, digital, analog, high-speed interfaces, programmable logic, or wireless systems.

Strong PCB layout expertise spanning constrained multilayer designs, high-speed interfaces, power delivery networks, flex circuits, and cable assemblies. Proficiency with Allegro or equivalent PCB design tools.

Experience with electrical validation and debug using high-speed oscilloscopes, vector network analyzers, BERTs, and protocol analyzers.

Minimum Qualifications

Solid understanding of the design, validation, and debug requirements for common interfaces (e.g., I2C, SPI, JTAG, I2S) and high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB, PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, DDR).

Experience with schematic capture and constraint-driven PCB design using Cadence Allegro/OrCAD or equivalent EDA tools.

Experience with numerical modeling, simulation, and analysis tools, including SPICE, 2D/3D field solvers, and power and signal integrity analysis.

Experience with data analysis, visualization, and scripting to automate validation, debug, and engineering workflows.

Excellent written and verbal communication, presentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Intellectually curious, creative, collaborative, and passionate about solving challenging engineering problems and continuously learning.
