• Experience using benchmark software tools to accurately measure system performance.
• Experience with Python and shell scripting.
• Experience with modern consumer electronics devices, SoCs, and multiple operating systems.
• Solid foundation in computer architecture fundamentals.
• Experience using power measurement tools with benchmark software for simultaneous power and performance measurements.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.
• Understanding the design or reverse-engineering of DC power delivery circuits.
• Some systems programming or driver development experience, especially relating to power management.

• Analyze SoC power and performance across multiple functional subsystems.
• Use existing and new workloads and benchmarks for performance analysis.
• Identify performance limitations in collaboration with colleagues.
• Provide recommendations for hardware and software improvements.

• Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life.
