Role Number:200015975

Apple has adopted wireless power charging into all of its mobile products. Wireless charging is a significant customer feature of growing importance within Apple; our goal is to continue to enhance the wireless charging experience and to make it ubiquitous. In order to achieve this goal, the inductive wireless power architecture team is pushing the envelope on what is achievable both in our current product offerings and products we have planned for the future. The development of the architecture supporting our future vision is just now underway and we're looking for a senior technical leader to augment the system and silicon architecture expertise already within the team.

In particular, we are looking for a senior leader with strong system architecture skills. The range of tasks for this position should be supported by both deep and broad expertise in signals and systems, system modelling and simulation, signal processing, communications. Background in power electronics and inductively coupled wireless power systems is helpful but not required. Augmenting this expertise should be industrial experience working with cross-functional partners to achieve a shared vision, performing as a technical lead providing guidance and coordination for a team with deep expertise as well as organizing both short- and long-range tasks culminating in an end-to-end system implementation.

Key Qualifications

• Deep expertise in most or all of the following:
• wireless communications, signals and systems, control systems
• system-level simulation (Cadence, Matlab, Python,...)
• Experience in power electronics and wireless power is helpful
• Technical leadership for large and complex projects
• Project planning
• Developing and exercising cross-functional partnerships

Description
Formulate possible architectures to support our wireless power vision.
Develop a project plan to bring the architecture from concept to prototype to delivery to mass production.
Gather relevant information from cross-functional partners to understand how the architecture could properly function within the wider system. Develop a list of system-level constraints.
Work with team to develop and simulate each piece of the architecture, develop requirements and specifications; ensure those specifications are met under a practical range of tolerances and errors.
Guide the team in the development of necessary algorithms, state-transition diagrams/flowcharts and analysis for each regime of operation.

Education & Experience
PhD required
At least five years of relevant technical work in industry
Experience in product manufacturing and bringing product to market
Excellent documentation and presentation skills
