Job description

The AirPods team is looking for an Analog Systems Engineer to lead the design and development of power and battery management subsystems for next-generation audio products. This role involves cross-functional collaboration and technical decision-making to shape power architectures. The engineer will work closely with silicon vendors and internal teams to ensure successful integration and validation of hardware components. The position requires a strong background in analog/mixed-signal design and a focus on delivering reliable, high-volume consumer products.

Requirements

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
  • 2+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal hardware design
  • Deep understanding of power mixed-signal building blocks such as PMIC, DC-DC converters, and battery management systems
  • Strong skills in analog/mixed-signal analysis including tolerance analysis and system modeling
  • Proficiency in bench testing and equipment usage for validation
  • Excellent interpersonal and presentation skills
  • Experience in designing low-power, high-volume consumer products
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Matlab and Python
  • Familiarity with SPICE-based simulation tools
  • Familiarity with digital interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and UART

Responsibilities

  • Own and assist with the end-to-end development of power and battery management subsystems
  • Establish subsystem architecture through tradeoff studies and simulations
  • Guide component selection and assist with schematic and layout reviews
  • Provide guidance on hardware and firmware integration
  • Define system specifications and author hardware specifications
  • Partner with silicon vendors for the development and characterization of PMICs and charger ICs
  • Execute hands-on hardware and firmware debugging throughout the development cycle
  • Drive validation to ensure subsystems scale successfully into mass production

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.
