The Home Hardware team is looking for a highly motivated and creative Electrical Engineer to help define, prototype, 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 engineers, software developers, and industrial designers to architect complex systems, spin up rapid proof-of-concept hardware, and evaluate the technologies that will enable entirely new, accessible, and intuitive experiences in our customers' personal spaces.

As a Home Hardware System EE, you will be responsible for the electrical definition and rapid realization of early-stage concepts. Your day-to-day work will span high-level system architecture to hands-on bench-level prototyping. You will research and select novel sensors, compute modules, power electronics, and electromechanical technologies, driving the electrical architecture from a blank whiteboard to a fully functioning prototype. You will need to constantly balance performance, power, thermals, acoustic noise, and safety—ensuring our products bring surprise and delight to customers.

+ BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

+ 5+ years of industry experience in hardware design, specifically in rapid prototyping, architecture, or 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 electromechanical systems.

+ Hands-on experience with sensor integration, microcontrollers/SoCs, and standard digital interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, MIPI, USB, PCIe).

+ Proficiency with schematic capture tools (e.g., Cadence Concept/Allegro, Altium) and a solid understanding of PCB layout principles for signal integrity and power delivery.

+ Extensive experience in a lab environment: board bring-up, debugging, and using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and multimeters.

+ Experience leading teams through product development cycle from concept development to production bring up
