The Home Hardware team is looking for a highly motivated and creative Hardware Architect to help define, architect, and build the future of Apple home product concepts. In this 0-to-1 role, you will be at the forefront of early-stage product exploration, operating at the intersection of hardware, software, and user experience. You will work with a diverse, cross-functional team of mechanical, software and controls engineers to architect complex systems.

Description


As a Home Hardware System EE Architect, you will be responsible for the electrical definition and feasibility studies early-stage concepts. Your day-to-day work will span high-level system architecture to hands-on bench-level evaluation of key systems. You will research and select novel sensors, compute architectures, power electronics, and electromechanical technologies, driving the electrical architecture from a blank whiteboard to a fully functioning system.

 In this role, you will collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team — spanning mechanical, controls, perception, and software — to develop and integrate cutting-edge hardware systems for future Apple products. You will own critical aspects of the electrical architecture and implementation of systems that combine real-time control, dynamic power loads, and rich multi-modal sensing. Success in this role requires not just deep technical expertise, but also strong product intuition and a systems-level mindset that accounts for the unique challenges of products.

Minimum Qualifications


BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering 5+ years of industry experience in hardware design, specifically in architecture and R&D environments. Strong electrical engineering fundamentals across digital, analog, mixed-signal, and power delivery (DC-DC) design. Proven experience in system-level architecture and component selection for embedded systems, consumer electronics, or mechatronics. Demonstrated ability to effectively bring-up, debug, and validate mixed-signal designs

Preferred Qualifications


MS or PhD in electrical engineering or similar field Experience leading teams through product development cycle from concept development to production bring up Experience architecting real-time control systems, synchronized sensor/actuator timing, and deterministic communication buses Familiarity with functional safety standards and practices (e.g., ISO 13849, IEC 61508, or equivalent) Expertise in emerging sensing technologies and sensor design highly preferred Ability to take a methodical and insightful approach to data analysis Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill
