Are you a big-picture thinker who loves setting ambitious goals? Do you have a passion for understanding how each line of code affects all the others? In the Core Operating Systems group ensuring the OS is inseparable from each device’s identity as a whole. That’s because this group is committed to building fully integrated operating systems that combine hardware, software, and apps into a single Apple experience! Your dedication to cross-disciplinary collaboration will help develop groundbreaking technologies, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. By crafting these distinct, holistic user experiences, you’ll continue to uphold and advance the excellence people expect from Apple devices. In the Energy Technologies software team we are looking for a talented and versatile Software Engineer to develop and build intelligent adaptive power management solutions to meet the challenges in Apple’s battery operated mobile systems. The goal will be to allow the system to provide optimal performance and experience under tight power delivery constraints. If this describes you, we would love to hear from you.

DESCRIPTION

Work multi-functionally with system architects, electrical engineers, battery engineers, system software engineers, and other functional software engineering teams. Develop new system power management algorithms under tight battery power delivery constraints. Modeling of telemetry data for the purpose of predicting patterns. Explore novel battery management solutions based on actual battery modeling and characterization. Design, implement and optimize system software and embedded firmware. Demonstrate and explain cross functionally system power/performance trade-offs. Influence hardware design specifications of future platforms to deliver a roadmap of innovative software solutions to very challenging battery mechanism system problems. Protect end-to-end confidentiality. An ideal candidate will be eager to learn from history and be curious about all related fields, such as control theory, battery charging, thermals, and performance. In this role, you will enhance and develop battery management solutions. This is a unique and highly visible role that will be at the center of design, development, and productization of software, implementing control systems, battery management, and other related efforts, working closely with multiple teams such as battery management, platform architecture, hardware systems and many other software teams. The goal will be to allow the system to operate at optimal performance under tight power delivery constraints, and without compromising battery life. If you are excited about identifying areas for improvement and creating out-of-the-box solutions we would love to hear from you.
