About the role

Hardware Engineering Intern for iPad System EE, focusing on board bring-up, hardware validation, lab instrumentation, and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate iPad hardware development. Collaborates across Silicon, Firmware, Software, and Product Design to validate system-level performance and reliability.

Responsibilities

  • Participate in prototype PCBA bring-up and power-on sequencing.
  • Utilize lab bench instrumentation (high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, DMMs, and active probes) to troubleshoot and isolate signal integrity, power, and functional issues.
  • Execute comprehensive test plans across power rails, high-speed interfaces, and peripheral buses (I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners on system-level validation.
  • Develop, enhance, and maintain automated test scripts (primarily in Python) to control test equipment, stimulate physical devices, and increase validation coverage.
  • Explore and apply AI coding tools and agentic workflows to streamline data parsing, automated log analysis, script generation, and engineering documentation.
  • Process large parametric datasets, identify statistical margins and test trends, and prepare concise technical reports and failure analysis (FA) summaries.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a BS, MS, or PhD program in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Solid fundamentals in electrical engineering (analog/digital circuit analysis, power delivery, and signal integrity basics).
  • Hands-on lab experience with circuit assembly, soldering, schematic/layout reading, and standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies).
  • Basic proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, C/C++, or Shell).
  • Good written and verbal English communication skills.
