Are you passionate about designing the world's most advanced silicon? Do you want to write software that helps create the next generation of processors and enable the next remarkable Apple innovation? If so, we invite you to consider joining our team at Apple. We seek an engineer with a passion for hardware and strong programming and collaboration skills. You will engage with cross-disciplinary staff to define and develop the automation, data, APIs, systems, and communication to enable our CAD flows. You will gain hands-on experience in circuit design automation and the reuse of custom intellectual property (IP). You will develop innovative pipelines to enable design engineers to efficiently drive and interact with their transistor-level analysis workflows, delivering diverse IPs to our numerous cutting-edge integrated circuits (ICs) in development. In this role, you will acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge spanning various disciplines and stages of silicon IP development, such as transistor-level extraction, timing analysis, static/dynamic IR analysis, simulations, power EM analysis, signal EM analysis, logic equivalency checks (LEC), and signoff. The successful candidate will thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and demonstrate a hands-on, enthusiastic, and self-motivated approach. They will possess a strong drive to succeed in high-paced settings and be eager to tackle challenges with innovative solutions. If you are passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences and paying meticulous attention to detail, this role may be the perfect fit for you. As a member of our team, your contributions will directly impact the experiences of millions of Apple customers by delivering state-of-the-art processors to the diverse range of Apple products.
In this highly visible role, your primary responsibilities will include: • Investigate challenges, propose solutions, complete execution, and drive adoption of novel systems, which enhance design and CAD engineer productivity. • Create, support, and enhance software infrastructure, flows, and scripts following high-quality code development practices. • Identify opportunities for optimizing, expediting, and reusing the delivery of hardware IP assets. • Collaborate closely with diverse Design and CAD Teams, including Custom Digital, Analog, Mixed-Signal, and more, to understand their needs and requirements. • Apply advanced techniques to address customer requirements across multiple products and reduce duplicate design work. • Learn new subject areas quickly. Ask questions. Anticipate and overcome challenges. • Drive software vendor development and benchmark their capabilities.
