Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you’ll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple’s devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices!
Join a team of expert software engineers with diverse backgrounds (graphics, video encoding, video processing, file systems, CPUs and caching, kernel programming, embedded systems) to develop graphics validation software and integrate it into system level test environment.
Description
You will be writing shaders that stress the GPU and cause high bandwidth traffic to and from the memory subsystem.
You will apply your deep understanding of GPU architecture to write tests that stress the pipeline and exercise the interaction between the GPU and different IP blocks on the SoC.
You will use the necessary driver and firmware APIs to compile shaders and prime operations to move data around in the SoC using the GPU threads/SIMD groups.
You will understand the different levels of GPU memory hierarchy (Shared, Global, etc.)
You will debug SoC software and hardware issues, and perform system level validation.
Minimum Qualifications
A minimum of a bachelor's degree in relevant field and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or related field
Preferred Qualifications
- Experienced with Graphics, OpenGL, and CUDA
- Understanding of the GPU pipeline and graphics theory
- Understanding of system and SoC architectures
- Experienced with image processing, memory hierarchies, and compilers
- Strong C/C++ programming skills
- Implement and run ML/LLM workloads for GPU characterization
- Proficient in Python and GNU Make
- Deep understanding of compute systems, operating systems, and computer architecture
- Passionate about writing code close to the hardware, and debugging
- In-depth knowledge and experience in SoC system level validation and debugging of SoC software and hardware issues
- You enjoy the validation mentality: meticulous, curious, and persistent
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 $139,500 and $258,100, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.

Which companies sponsor visas for embedded systems engineers in Texas?
Texas Instruments, Raytheon Technologies, L3Harris, NXP Semiconductors, and Dell Technologies are among the Texas employers with documented histories of sponsoring embedded systems engineers. Defense and aerospace contractors concentrated in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and semiconductor companies in Austin account for a significant share of sponsorship activity in this role category.
Which cities in Texas have the most embedded systems engineer sponsorship jobs?
Dallas-Fort Worth leads due to its concentration of aerospace, defense, and telecommunications employers. Austin has grown significantly as a hub for semiconductor design and consumer electronics firms. Houston adds opportunities through energy technology and industrial automation companies. San Antonio contributes through military and defense contractor presence, particularly around Joint Base San Antonio.
How to find embedded systems engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Texas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically to roles where employers are willing to sponsor work visas, which is particularly useful for embedded systems engineers in Texas given how spread out opportunities are across defense, semiconductor, and energy sectors. Searching by state on Migrate Mate lets you focus on Texas employers actively seeking sponsored candidates for hardware and firmware roles.
Which visa types are most common for embedded systems engineer roles in Texas?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa category for embedded systems engineers in Texas, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field. Canadian and Mexican nationals sometimes use the TN visa under the engineer category. Candidates with exceptional published research or patents may explore the O-1A.
Are there state-specific factors that affect embedded systems engineer sponsorship in Texas?
Texas has no state income tax, which affects prevailing wage comparisons under Department of Labor standards since compensation norms differ from high-cost states. Many Texas embedded systems roles sit within defense contractors subject to ITAR regulations, meaning some positions require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency and are not open to sponsored candidates. Confirming security clearance requirements before applying saves significant time.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored embedded systems engineer jobs in Texas?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
