Are you a big-picture thinker who loves setting ambitious goals? Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device's identity as a whole. That's because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience! Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. By crafting these distinct, holistic user experiences, you'll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices!
In the Platform Energy Technologies software team we are looking for a talented and versatile System Software Engineer to develop and build intelligent adaptive power management solutions to meet the challenges in Apples battery operated mobile systems. The goal will be to allow the system to provide optimal performance and experience under tight power delivery constraints. If this describes you, we would love to hear from you!
Electronic devices are ever more powerful and run under tight power delivery constraints. An ideal candidate will be eager to learn from history and be curious about all related fields, such as control theory, battery charging, thermals, and performance. In this role, you will enhance and develop battery management solutions. This is a unique and highly visible role that will be at the center of design, development, and productization of software, implementing control systems, battery management, and other related efforts, working closely with multiple teams such as battery management, platform architecture, hardware systems and many other software teams. The goal will be to allow the system to operate at optimal performance under tight power delivery constraints, and without compromising battery life. Are you excited about identifying areas for improvement and creating out-of-the-box solutions? If this describes you, we would love to hear from you! Work multi-functionally with system architects, electrical engineers, battery engineers, system software engineers, and other functional software engineering teams. Develop new system power management algorithms under tight battery power delivery constraints. Modeling of telemetry data for the purpose of predicting patterns. Explore novel battery management solutions based on actual battery modeling and characterization. Design, implement and optimize system software and embedded firmware. Demonstrate and explain cross functionally system power/performance trade-offs. Influence hardware design specifications of future platforms to deliver a roadmap of innovative software solutions to very challenging battery mechanism system problems. Protect end-to-end confidentiality. Knowledge of C / C++ / equivalent systems software programming languages and popular scripting languages. Strong system software development skills. Strong understanding of operating systems, hardware, and embedded systems. Demonstrated innovative, critical & independent thinking, and troubleshooting skills. Highly professional, with the ability to deliver high quality, well-tested work on tight schedules. Excellent collaborative skills, with outstanding written and verbal communication. Experience with implementing battery management features and other solutions in power-constrained systems is a plus. Experience working on field data analytics to analyze and improve algorithms is a plus.
