Description
This is a unique hardware design position that starts at product concept and continues all the way through to mass production. You will be at the center of iPad product development with a critical impact on overall design. Day to day tasks involve electrical design, simulation, bringup, debug, and validation for iPads. Routine responsibilities also include factory build support, and working with multi-functional technology teams in a fast-paced environment. There will be opportunities for international travel.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical / Computer Engineering or equivalent
- 5+ years of relevant industry experience in analog circuit and power supply design for consumer electronics and/or embedded systems
- Strong EE fundamentals (analog and digital design, signal/power integrity, etc)
- Excellent written and verbal communication/presentation skills
- Comfortable in a lab environment using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.
Preferred Qualifications
- Expert knowledge of low voltage power regulation and delivery with an emphasis on the design and validation of high efficiency DC-DC switched mode power supplies.
- Experience using simulation and analysis tools such as Spice and 2D/3D field solvers for simulation of power supplies and power distribution networks.
- Hands-on experience in prototyping, bring-up, debug and validation
- Schematic capture and rigid/flexible PCB layout
- Ability to analyze solutions and make system design trade-offs
- Demonstrated ability to understand technology and debug problems at varying levels of abstraction, from the system-level down to the silicon/transistor level
- Understanding of design and validation requirements for common interfaces (e.g. I2C, SPI, JTAG, I2S) and preferably high-speed interfaces (e.g. USB, MIPI, PCIe, HDMI, DP, Thunderbolt, DDR Memory, Ethernet)
- Knowledge of consumer electronics battery charging applications, USB-C PD, and wireless charging is a plus.
- Beyond technical capability, we prize curiosity, creativity, integrity, leadership, collaboration, and a passion for learning
