Digital/Mixed Signal IP Validation Engineer

As a member of the Apple Silicon Validation Team, you will be responsible for bringing up, validating, and characterizing mixed-signal IP including on-chip memories, sensors, regulators, and other critical components. You will develop robust validation software, create automation frameworks, and conduct comprehensive PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) testing to ensure the highest quality standards are met. You will collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines to solve complex validation challenges and contribute to Apple's industry-leading silicon designs. • Bring up new silicon and validation platforms for mixed-signal IP components • Develop comprehensive validation software to interact with and test IP functionality • Create and maintain automation frameworks to enhance testing efficiency and coverage • Execute test plans and analyze results to verify design specifications are met • Review design specifications and provide valuable feedback to IP designers • Define and review platform requirements to support effective validation • Coordinate with design, DV, DFT, hardware and lab teams to resolve issues • Collaborate with DV teams on RTL simulations and waveform analysis • Configure and automate lab instruments (oscilloscopes, DMMs, source meters, etc.) • Generate detailed reports and dashboards to communicate validation status • Present findings and analysis in cross-functional engineering forums • Work with design/lab teams to define failure analysis experiments • Develop specialized test content for silicon debug using advanced FA techniques
