INTRODUCTION
Apple's Platform Architecture team is looking for a Simulation and Control Systems Engineer with a strong software background to help develop advanced thermal and power management algorithms. In this role, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team to design, implement, and validate algorithms that power millions of Apple devices worldwide.
DESCRIPTION
In this role, you will design, implement, debug, and validate control and estimation algorithms for complex thermal and electrical systems. You'll work closely with electrical and thermal engineering teams to interpret system requirements and constraints, and partner with software engineering teams to ensure that control algorithms are integrated in a robust, scalable, and efficient manner.
You will design and execute experiments for modeling and validation, collect and analyze data, and identify potential issues. When challenges arise, you'll be expected to propose thoughtful fixes and architectural decisions to ensure system performance and reliability.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work across hardware and software domains and to contribute directly to the performance of Apple's world-class products.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science or similar degree.
- Hands-on experience in control systems development. (Such as modeling, algorithm design, simulation, implementation and/or testing)
- Experience in Python or MATLAB.
- Experience implementing control algorithms on embedded microcontroller platforms.
- Experience with optimization techniques and modern control theory.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 10 years relevant industry experience.
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or Computer Science, with a focus on control systems or robotics, or equivalent professional experience.
- Proficiency in C++.
- Experience with software engineering workflows, including Git, code review, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong knowledge of system identification, estimation theory, and statistical learning methods.
- Knowledge of optimal and robust control, adaptive control, model predictive control and/or task and trajectory planning.
- Ability to communicate complex control and algorithmic concepts clearly to cross-functional hardware and software teams.
PAY & BENEFITS
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $181,100 and $272,100, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and for formal education related to advancing your career at Apple, reimbursement for certain educational expenses - including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation. Learn more about Apple Benefits.
Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Control Systems Engineer
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
Australian three-year engineering degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year bachelor's degrees for E-3 purposes. Pair your academic transcripts with a credential evaluation letter to pre-empt any employer concerns during the offer stage.
Target industries with established LCA filing history
Oil and gas, utilities, advanced manufacturing, and defense contractors routinely file Labor Condition Applications for control systems roles. These employers already understand the E-3 process, which shortens the negotiation and reduces back-and-forth over sponsorship feasibility.
Search for E-3 sponsorship jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters roles by E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which employers will engage. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork once you have an offer confirmed.
Clarify your PLC and SCADA specializations upfront
Employers filing an LCA need to name a specific role with a defined specialty occupation. Specifying your platform expertise, such as Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell ControlLogix, or Ignition SCADA, strengthens the specialty occupation case and reduces DOL scrutiny.
Negotiate employer-paid filing fees before signing
The LCA filing with DOL is free, but employers often pay for legal support and consular preparation. Raise this during the offer stage, not after you've signed, so fee responsibilities are documented in your offer letter before any government filings begin.
Time your consulate appointment around project start dates
Australian consulates in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth process E-3 applications, with appointment availability varying by location and season. Build at least four to six weeks of buffer between your confirmed offer date and your intended start date to account for scheduling delays.

Find Control Systems Engineer JobsControl Systems Engineer E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Control Systems Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search for Control Systems Engineer roles filtered by E-3 sponsorship history. Many employers in automation, utilities, and industrial manufacturing sponsor E-3 visas regularly but don't advertise it in job postings. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with active sponsorship activity, saving you from cold outreach to companies unfamiliar with the process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Control Systems Engineer role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field such as electrical engineering, control systems engineering, or mechatronics. Roles requiring only general technical experience or where any engineering degree would qualify may face more DOL scrutiny during LCA review. The stronger your degree-to-role alignment, the cleaner the specialty occupation case.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Control Systems Engineers?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and has a 10,500 annual cap that has never been exhausted, so there is no lottery and no random selection. H-1B registration is entered into a lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection rate in recent years. For an Australian control systems engineer, the E-3 is a direct path that doesn't depend on chance.
Can I change employers or projects while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp or a change of status filing. Your E-3 is tied to the specific employer and role on your approved LCA. If you're moving between project sites under the same employer, confirm whether the primary worksite change requires an LCA amendment before you relocate.
