Data Systems Engineer

Apple • Sunnyvale, CA • 3h ago

Role Number: 200649957-3956

Summary

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something.

In SSP Data, our mission is to power the technological and design aspirations of the best products in the world through Data, while championing quality, privacy, safety, and an ethical experience. We are seeking a highly-motivated Data Systems Engineer to design and build custom data collection rigs serving a variety of core Apple technologies. You'll work at the intersection of hardware, software, and data collection operations. Your ground-up platforms will address future data needs and modalities. This role demands strong engineering fundamentals: first-principles problem solving, the ability to move from concept to working proto@type, and an understanding of your final customer.

Description

A successful Data Systems Engineer will have strong analytical and problem-solving skills grounded in engineering fundamentals and hardware/software integration experience. You will build custom engineering rigs and optimize end-to-end system performance across our data infrastructure. This role requires technical depth across multiple disciplines, comfort working from first principles, and judgment about when to build custom solutions versus leveraging existing systems.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer, Electrical, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Data Science, or similar

Strong programming skills (in Python, C++, or similar) to control hardware

Preferred Qualifications

Experience debugging complex systems across hardware, software, and network layers

Ability to work cross-functionally with hardware, software, and operations teams

Enthusiasm for taking projects from proto@type to production handoff

Comfortable with ambiguity - defining problems while solving them

Experience with sensor integration/synchronization, timing systems, or custom instrumentation

Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Adaptable, with precise attention to detail and a strong work ethic

Understanding of networking fundamentals (troubleshooting packet loss, latency, reliability)

Background in computer vision, robotics, or metrology systems

Familiarity with embedded systems, thermal management, or power systems

Experience with controlled testing environments or lab instrumentation

Understanding of data quality metrics and validation frameworks

Background in data collection for ML/algorithm development
