Firmware/Software System Engineering Program Manager

Job description

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas become extraordinary products with remarkable speed — and the people who make that happen are the ones who love the craft of building something the world has never seen. The Human Interface Devices (HID) organization sits at the heart of every Apple product experience: we are the team responsible for the hardware, firmware, and software that powers the way people touch, feel, and interact with Apple's most iconic products — from the precision of a MacBook trackpad and keyboard, to the intelligence inside AirPods and Apple TV Remote, to the seamless experiences embedded in iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

We are looking for an experienced, technically sharp Engineering Program Manager (EPM) who thrives at the intersection of embedded firmware, software systems, and cross-functional product delivery. This is not a coordinator role — it's a leadership role. You will own the end-to-end program plan for next-generation technologies, partnering deeply with firmware engineers, hardware designers, systems architects, and manufacturing teams to bring groundbreaking products to life.

In this highly visible role, you will lead programs across the full product development lifecycle — from pre-kickoff planning and architecture alignment through development, convergence, factory bring-up, and post-release field analysis. You'll operate across Apple — it will be you, the EPM, who creates the connective tissue between teams, drives clarity from ambiguity, and keeps the program moving with confidence. If you've shipped consumer electronics products, know what it feels like to drive a firmware team through convergence under tight deadlines, and can translate complex technical tradeoffs into crisp executive communication — we want to talk to you.
