We're looking for a dedicated engineer to own the design, integration, and verification of digital interfaces and power delivery for wireless subsystems.

Description

The Hardware Design Engineering role sits at the intersection of wireless silicon, and the rest of the SoCs in our products. You will be responsible for the end-to-end hardware design lifecycle of wireless subsystems - from architecture definition and schematic design through bring-up, characterization, and production validation. You will work closely with internal silicon, software, and platform teams as well as external chipset vendors to integrate wireless SoCs into Apple products. The role requires a strong foundation in digital interfaces, power distribution networks, firmware and system-level debug. You should be comfortable working in the lab, writing bare-metal firmware for hardware validation, and traveling internationally (~15%) to support build and bring-up activities.","responsibilities":"Define system interconnects and power supply architectures in collaboration with silicon and platform teams; implement in product schematics and layout
