The Human Interface Device (HID) group is looking for motivated engineers to join the Multitouch development team. Firmware delivered by HID powers the amazing sensing interfaces used on iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, health sensors, and more.

Our engineers are involved in all phases of product development, from the earliest concept reviews all the way through first customer ship. This includes architecture development, custom silicon design, hardware bringup with our EE partners, firmware design/implementation, and working with our Algorithm/Software/Quality partners to deliver the user experience for which Apple products are so well known.

Join our team and help craft the future of the Apple Touch experience. With millions of customers, our team’s impact is felt around the world!

As a HID firmware engineer working on many of Apple’s embedded sensors, you will be expected to:

Architect, implement, and maintain complex firmware designs

Define and bring up new sensing chipsets and processors from initial specification to production

Be an active participant in the design process, working closely with internal and external partners

Write clean, robust, testable, and balanced code tailored for embedded systems

Efficiently debug and close out system issues related to your firmware

Specify and detail communication protocols, system states, and feature requirements in partnership with other firmware and software teams

Collaborate with Quality Engineering teams to advise and craft their white-box testing
