Battery Management Systems IC Engineer

Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge As part of our Battery Engineering group craft creative battery solutions that deliver more energy in smaller spaces than ever before. We work across disciplines to transform improved hardware elements into a single integrated design. Join us and youll help us innovate new battery technologies that continually outperform the previous iterations. By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple youll push the industry boundaries of what batteries can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world!

In this role you will utilize your electronics design skills to design develop and test battery monitoring units and Battery management units (BMU) for next generation consumer electronic products. You will work with suppliers to develop custom parts where needed and design test methodologies to verify the battery management unit design!

Push the boundaries of technologies to maximize performance and minimize volume through modeling and simulationnSpecify custom parts and PCBs for use in BMUsnAnalyze the design with simulation tools and calculations to verify its conformance to the IC models and conduct model validationnConduct design validation on prototypes to implement the designnConduct design reviews incorporate team feedback and release the design documents for buildsnCollaborate with multi-functional partners (Product Design System EE Cell Engineering Firmware Algorithms etc.) to ensure the product is developed on time andnConduct investigations and prepare reports for problems or issuesnDevelop schematic and guide component selection to meet all physical and electrical requirements of BMU. nSpecify production test plans and limits and work with CM partners to realize design
