Firmware Engineer
Overview
Apple’s Silicon Engineering Group is seeking a Firmware Engineer to join the Munich team responsible for wireless connectivity chips used across iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more. You will develop production firmware for Bluetooth LE and proprietary wireless protocols running on ARM Cortex-M cores with FreeRTOS.
Your day-to-day involves writing low-level drivers for I2C, SPI, and custom peripheral interfaces, implementing power management state machines, and collaborating closely with the digital design and RF teams to validate silicon bring-up. This is a hands-on firmware role where you own features from specification through mass production.
Candidates should have 5+ years of embedded firmware experience with strong C and C++ skills. Expertise in Bluetooth LE protocol stack development, wireless coexistence, or low-power embedded design is highly desirable. Experience with silicon bring-up and emulation platforms is a strong plus.
