Job description

Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? As part of our Battery Engineering group, craft creative battery solutions that deliver more energy in smaller spaces than ever before. We work across disciplines to transform improved hardware elements into a single, integrated design. Join us, and you’ll help us innovate new battery technologies that continually outperform the previous iterations. By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple, you’ll push the industry boundaries of what batteries can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world!

Responsibilities

• Design BMU from concept to mass production focusing on detailed board level design
• Push the boundaries of technologies to maximize performance and minimize volume
• Collaborate with multi-functional partners (Product Design, System EE, Cell Engineering, Firmware, Algorithms, etc.) to ensure the product is developed on time and on budget
• Conduct investigations and prepare reports for problems or issues
• Develop Schematics and BOMs to satisfy the design requirements
• Develop layout guidelines for PCBs and guides Layout Engineers to meet all physical and electrical requirements of BMU
• Specify custom parts and PCBs for use in BMUs
• Analyze the design with simulation tools and calculations to verify its conformance to the requirements. (PSPICE, ANSYS, Verilog or equivalent)
• Conduct design validation on prototypes to implement the design
• Conduct design reviews, incorporate team feedback and release the design documents for builds
• Specify production test plans and limits and work with CM partners to realize design

Requirements

• Bachelor"s in Electrical Engineering or relevant field of study
• Experience in analog and/or power electronics design
• Experience in electronic circuit design/development with mixed signal systems or relevant
• Experience in any of the following: Power Electronics, Battery Management (fuel gauge and charger), Portable Consumer Electronics, Medical Electronics, Automotive Electronics)

Preferred Qualifications

• Master"s in Electrical Engineering or relevant field of study and 10+ years relevant industry experience
• Experience with high volume manufacturing
• Knowledge of one or more scripting (Python, Shell, Unix, MATLAB, etc.) for test automation and data analysis desired
• Understanding of the silicon manufacturing process and how semiconductor devices and associated parasitic sub circuits are created is preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and experience presenting data to cross-functional teams and/or management
• Detail oriented and strive for product excellence
