Job description

This role is an engineering leadership position at Apple, focusing on the development of innovative electrical architectures and precision metrology systems. The team operates at the intersection of product architecture, electrical engineering, and intelligent metrology, collaborating with design teams to enhance product insights. The leader will manage a talented group of electrical engineers and drive the advancement of system-level design methodologies. This position requires strong technical expertise and the ability to influence product architecture through cross-functional collaboration.

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • 3+ years of engineering management experience with strong hands-on hardware systems expertise, or 7+ years of technical leadership experience with demonstrated readiness for people management.
  • Extensive experience in hardware systems development, including architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, bring-up, characterization, and deployment.
  • Strong electrical engineering fundamentals spanning analog, power electronics, mixed-signal, and high-speed digital design.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead complex engineering initiatives and collaborate across multiple technical disciplines.
  • Deep understanding of system architecture, electrical instrumentation, metrology, and product characterization methodologies.
  • Experience developing precision measurement systems, programmable power architectures, embedded telemetry, or hardware observability solutions.
  • Experience influencing hardware or silicon architecture through cross-functional engineering partnerships.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML-enabled engineering workflows, intelligent automation, and data-driven system analysis.
  • Firmware or software development experience using Python, C/C++, or similar languages.
  • Experience developing scalable engineering platforms and reusable hardware architectures across multiple products.
  • Proficiency with schematic capture, rigid/flexible PCB design, and system-level electrical integration.
  • Understanding of measurement uncertainty, statistical analysis, correlation, repeatability, reproducibility, and calibration methodologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance long-term technical strategy with hands-on engineering execution.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to influence engineering teams and senior leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Lead electrical engineers across a diverse portfolio of Apple products.
  • Advance common architectures, AI-enabled engineering methodologies, and scalable solutions.
  • Drive the development of innovative electrical architectures and embedded observability capabilities.
  • Manage and develop a talented team responsible for system-level design methodologies and custom electrical instrumentation.
  • Deliver scalable engineering solutions that support product development, characterization, calibration, and manufacturing.
  • Shape the team's technical direction and identify opportunities to influence product architecture.
  • Establish common platforms and leverage AI-driven technologies to accelerate engineering development.
  • Collaborate closely with silicon, hardware, firmware, software, and operations teams.
  • Communicate complex engineering strategies and influence technical decisions across organizational boundaries.
  • Travel domestically and internationally as required based on business needs.

Benefits

  • 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. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
