Apple is seeking a senior-level design engineer to lead technical engagements with silicon and IP suppliers working on groundbreaking technologies. The role requires significant experience across all phases of silicon development, including micro-architecture specification, pre-silicon activities like simulation and verification, and post-silicon activities such as bring-up, validation, characterization, and qualification. Knowledge of digital, analog, and memory technology product development and productization tasks for high-volume manufacturing is also essential. Responsibilities include driving technical exchanges with supplier teams (Architecture, Design Methodology, Hardware/Software Design, Product/Test, Reliability Engineering), leading hardware and software verification, validation, and qualification efforts, and filtering critical data for data-driven decision-making.
