Hardware System Engineer

Apple designs consumer electronics that have touched millions and changed the way people interact with technology around the world. Our organization plays a key role in upholding the world-class quality standards that define Apple ensuring that every customer enjoys an exceptional hardware group is looking for a passionate and self-driven engineer who will be directly responsible for designing innovative system solutions spanning from lab-based design validation all the way to high-volume manufacturing for Apples entire wireless charging ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of hardware software and mechatronics developing solutions in both lab and high-volume manufacturing environments. These solutions include hardware modules mechanical fixtures and software automations that drive performance characterization and validation of Apples wireless charging products.n

As a Hardware System Engineer on this team you will develop a remarkably broad set of skills that span product design hardware design software development mechanical design factory deployment factory reliability vendor engagement and executive communication. This role is designed to not only deepen your existing expertise but also give you the opportunity to grow in new and exciting this role you will design automated test solutions that scale from bench-level characterization all the way to high-volume manufacturing across Apples entire wireless charging ecosystem. You will work closely with hardware and silicon design teams to ensure new products meet Apples high standards for customer experience during high-volume manufacturing while also debugging any issues that surface along the way. You will develop validation strategies and execute electrical and system-level validation across build cycles to catch and resolve design issues improving overall product quality and keeping launches on validation you will research emerging technologies to understand unique failure mechanisms and develop software solutions for automating test equipment control device control test flow data acquisition and data processing. You will continuously work to improve testing speed coverage accuracy and reliability while regularly parsing plotting and analyzing data sets ranging from low-volume characterization to high-volume production. You will also periodically present key developments findings support strategies and timelines to management and cross-functional teams making clear and impactful communication a core part of your role.
