Job Description
The Core Technology Platform Firmware team builds the foundation that every product depends on - the first code that runs, the security model that protects it, and the boot architecture that brings it to life. You will work at the intersection of silicon and software, solving problems that don't have documented answers yet and shaping the firmware that defines how our products start, secure themselves, and perform. This is work where your decisions are etched into silicon and your craftsmanship ships to millions. You will contribute to boot architectures, security models, and hardware/software interfaces for new products, then bring them to life in the lab on first silicon and prototype hardware. You are the technical anchor for the platform's firmware deliverables - driving the system from first power-on through production hardening and into mass manufacturing. You will partner closely with hardware, silicon vendors, and security teams throughout the product lifecycle. We are looking for a resilient, self-driven engineer to own platform firmware deliverables from initial concept through mass production. You will work interchangeably with Apple Silicon and third-party vendor silicon depending on project requirements. This is a team that holds a high bar and has each other's backs - we anticipate risks before they become crises, we own the outcomes of our decisions, and we make each other better through honest, constructive feedback. When things go wrong, we learn from it and share what we learned to take the group forward.
