The candidate will design, implement, test, and debug the electrical subsystem of the world’s best all-in-one computers within a collaborative cross-functional team, working with mechanical engineering, software, silicon engineering, and other module teams such as wireless, camera, sensing, and display. Our engineers rely on skills in computer system architecture, schematic design, digital and analog circuits, power and voltage regulator integration, high speed signal integrity concepts, PCB design, bring up and system level troubleshooting to surprise and delight millions of customers!\nDescription\nDay to day tasks involve electrical design (both schematic capture and PCB layout), simulation, bringup, debug, and validation for Apple Silicon as it pertains to product implementation. EE’s are responsible for both schematic capture and coordinating layout of highly constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs. Routine responsibilities also include bring-up, validation, cross functional team support, and multi-disciplinary cross-functional collaboration and negotiation. We are looking for well-rounded candidates with a broad set of skill and interests, and the curiosity to dig deep wherever necessary to solve challenging problems. Opportunities exist to sample a variety of technology areas, and to remain general or specialize over time, developing domain expertise.\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field of study with industry level practical work experience.\nStrong EE fundamentals, grounded in a solid understanding of E&M physics and first principles with an understanding of computer / system architecture and the associated design tradeoffs.\nWorking knowledge of design and validation requirements for common low-speed and high-speed digital interfaces: I2C/SMBus, SPMI, SPI, I2S/TDM, USB, MIPI, PCIe, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt.\nExperience using lab tools such as 25 GHz oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and instrumentation amplifiers to judge the quality and robustness of electrical designs. Experience with protocol decode.\nExperience in circuit design for a variety of domains including power, digital, analog, high-speed communications, programmable logic, and/or wireless. Experience working closely with software and firmware teams on design bring-up, validation and test of electrical circuits and communication interfaces.\nWork with constrained multilayer PCBs including HDI and fine pitch BGAs. Requires familiarity with Allegro or other PCB design tool. Experience designing for high-speed and high power system based cables and flex boards, Multi layer flexible PCBs and the ability to perform component data-sheet analysis and selection for schematic capture. Inclusive of both digital and analog design (power sensing, filtering, etc).\nPreferred Qualifications\nSchematic capture and constraint-driven PCB layout using Cadence tools or similar.\nExperience with PCB bringup and debug, including new or custom silicon, using standard EE lab equipment: Soldering, DMM, Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer.\nExperience with complex data analysis, data visualization and script development.\nBeyond technical aptitude, we prize curiosity, creativity, integrity, leadership, teamwork, and a passion for learning.\nExcellent written and verbal communication and presentation skills.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3475,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Laptops","Smartwatches & Fitness Trackers","Tablets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T00:54:32Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 6,350 · green card filings: 37","filings_12m":6350,"filings_prev_12m":6527,"green_card_filings_12m":37,"median_offered_wage_usd":177355,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":1366}],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":138,"reasons":["conf:0","urgency","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T10:44:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16566,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":12},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=12"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapple-hardware-system-integration-electrical-engineer-mac"}]}
