Cupertino, California, United States Apple Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
Are you ready to help create the next iconic Apple product? Join the iPhone System Integration Team, where your passion and innovative spirit will drive the development of groundbreaking consumer products that set new standards of excellence.

As an iPhone Hardware Systems Validation Engineer (SysVE), you will be a key contributor who is crucial in delivering electrical validation milestones from the first prototype to the final launch in a high-energy, fast-paced environment. You'll work side by side with the iPhone System Integration Team, using your technical expertise and interpersonal skills to drive projects forward and ensure high-quality results.

With a strong foundation in electrical engineering, you're not just solution-driven—you're ready to dive deep into the nitty-gritty of debugging, working closely with multiple engineering teams to tackle critical tasks and refine our designs. In this hands-on role, you'll dig into complex technical challenges, build and maintain validation automation architecture, and actively contribute to mitigating project risks while engineering the future of innovation.

Description
As System Validation Engineers, we love the impact we make on the products that reach our customers. Some of the things we do are:

- Partner closely with EE design and SI/PI teams to define rigorous test plans for our products focusing on system performance and margining
- Drive the execution of tests plans with subsystem owners and our CM partners
- Collaborate with EE and cross-functional teams to review results and feed validation learnings back into design improvements
- Effectively report validation progress, risks, and top issues to the broader team and upper management
- Develop innovative validation process improvements, such as scripting automation and test board design
- Track and manage electrical validation schedules partnering with EPMs and technical leads
- Participate in debug activities, including actively driving design of experiments (DOEs)
- Lead and coach other validation engineers

Minimum Qualifications
Bachelors in Electrical / Computer Engineering
Expertise with hardware bring-up and bench-top measurements with lab equipment (e.g. digital oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power supply) for signal and power integrity
Strong communication and people skills. Able to work with cross functional teams on a regular basis.
Basic understanding of both low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces
Familiarity with power electronics, especially DC-DC converters.

Preferred Qualifications
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals and experience working on high-volume consumer electronics
Hands-on experience with low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces (e.g. I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB, etc.) at both the electrical/physical level as well as the protocol level
In-depth knowledge of power integrity, including analog designs such as DC-DC converters
Experience with Project management and data analysis tools (e.g. Tableau, pivot tables, Gantt charts, etc.)
Ability to root-cause issues and recommend design improvements.
Experience with scripting languages and instrument automation (e.g. Python, LabView)
Masters Degree in Engineering, EE/CE degree preferred
