Digital Mixed Signal Modeling Engineer

Apple's wireless silicon development team is seeking a Digital Mixed Signal Modeling Engineer to model and verify Analog/RF/Mixed-Signal blocks and SOCs using SystemVerilog. This role involves creating behavioral models, testbenches, checkers, and tests, and executing test plans. The engineer will develop behavioral models for wireless SoCs, integrate mixed-signal models onto emulation platforms, and support pre-silicon validation teams to ensure first silicon functionality. This is a hands-on role fostering engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation within a collaborative environment.

Must Have

• Develop accurate and simulation-efficient analog behavioral models for Analog/RF blocks in SystemVerilog
• Build and reuse monitors, and checkers for RF, Mixed-Signal and Digital blocks
• Debug failures, fix test bench/model/checker issues, and manage bug tracking
• Write scripts for automation of the flow and improve Mixed-Signal verification methodology
• Develop models that are emulation ready
• Minimum 3 years of relevant industry experience
• Hands-on experience in Mixed-Signal Verification and Real Numbered Modeling of Mixed-Signal Systems
• Knowledge of ubiquitous wireless technologies (WiFi, BT, UWB or radio systems)
• Knowledge of basic analog circuits (PLLs, LDOs, Bandgap, ADC/DAC)
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

Good to Have

• Ph.D. or Master’s with 5+ years of experience in modeling of analog/RF circuits
• Good understanding of emulation technologies and mixed-signal modeling requirements for synthesis-ready models
• Experience in modeling with SystemC and/or C/C++
• Experience in writing scripts in languages such as Perl or Python
• Knowledge of signal processing using Python or Matlab
• Good understanding of AMS and wireless circuits/systems
• Experience with SystemC modeling and high-level synthesis
