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!
In this role, you will utilize your electronics design skills to design, develop and test battery monitoring units and Battery management units (BMU) for next generation consumer electronic products. Responsibilities include designing electronic circuits, producing detailed design analysis, selecting electronic parts and integrated circuits to meet the performance targets. You will work with suppliers to develop custom parts where needed and design test methodologies to verify the battery management unit design!
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
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
Master's in Electrical Engineering or relevant field of study.
Background in any of the following: Power Electronics, Battery Management (fuel gauge and charger), Portable Consumer Electronics, Medical Electronics, Automotive Electronics)
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
We’re a diverse collection of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, as well as with services, including iTunes, the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple Pay. And the same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant. Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be, no matter what your team or your role. So bring your passion, courage, and original thinking and get ready to share it, because every new product, service, or feature we invent is the result of people working together to make each others’ ideas stronger. Innovation at this level depends on people who represent the variety of the human experience and inspire us with their own fresh perspectives. Together, we’ll do amazing work that can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own. Learn more about working at Apple.
