Hardware System Integration Engineer - AirPods

Seeking hardworking engineers who have passion on hardware, you will be responsible for owning aspects of system HW development from HW design to build in the factory, like PCB/flex design, crafting optimized system validation plans, owning manufacturing test requirements, prototype bringup and testing, data analysis and issue debug. Key parts of the responsibilities will be that work with manufacturing factory's EE team in the factory on tool design, testing, failure analysis, validation and other HW related cross team support. Travel to factories in other cities and countries might be needed. Experienced team members will get to influence future AirPods architectures based on learnings from successfully executing their programs. Minimum Qualifications Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent. 2+ years relevant industry experience in designing electronics and/or embedded systems, or fresh graduate worked as key contributor on HW projects in university.
