The iPhone Division is seeking a talented Analog & Power Systems Engineer to join a creative and collaborative engineering team developing next-generation iPhone products. This individual contributor role spans a broad set of analog disciplines — including power management subsystems, wired and wireless charging, and mixed-signal function blocks such as audio, sensors, and signal interfaces. You will be at the focal point of many cross-functional interactions with Apple's internal hardware/software teams, contract manufacturer teams, and IC vendor teams across all stages of development. We expect familiarity with portable, low-power consumer electronics and a passion for building high-quality, high-volume products. Depending on your background, your focus may span power architecture and PMICs, charging systems and battery management, or analog/mixed-signal circuit integration — or all three.
As an analog and power systems engineer, you are expected to bridge analog circuit design and system-level architecture. This requires a solid understanding of mixed-signal building blocks (op-amps, filters, ADCs/DACs, output drivers), power conversion topologies (switching regulators, linear regulators, switched capacitors), charging systems (wired and wireless), and low-power sensor interfaces. You should be comfortable addressing system-level challenges including power sequencing, interference mitigation, PCB layout, thermal management, and digital interface design.
- Plan system and subsystem power/charging architecture, including IO trees, power policies, and charging strategies (wired and wireless)
- Draft and review IC datasheets and specifications; distill system requirements into IC definitions
- Conduct IC design reviews and manage bug tracking throughout the full design cycle
- Drive and participate in system-level discussions on power management, charging, battery management, and analog subsystem integration
- Participate in IP development, schematic, and layout reviews
- Lead or assist in prototype bring-up, hardware demonstration, and lab debugging
- Perform bench verification of functional and parametric characteristics, including automation scripting
- Conduct signal characterization across power, charging, and analog signal domains
- Provide production test support, manufacturing support, and field issue resolution
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- 3+ years of industry experience
- Strong EE fundamentals: power conversion, analog circuits (op-amps, filters, ADCs/DACs), noise, linearity, and signal integrity in mixed-signal systems
- Hands-on experience with lab equipment (oscilloscope, power analyzer, digital meter, etc.) and circuit prototyping, characterization, and debugging
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Power management: SMPS, linear regulators, PMIC, system power architecture, camera flash/laser drivers
- Charging systems: wired/wireless charging, high-efficiency DC-DC converters, battery management (gas gauge, BMU, charger ICs)
- Analog/mixed-signal: low-power sensors and sensor interfaces, audio analog circuits, mixed-signal subsystem integration
- Experience collaborating across hardware, software, mechanical, and thermal engineering disciplines
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive complex tasks to completion
- Effective presentation skills and comfort working with IC vendors and contract manufacturers
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
