Summary

Do you want to help shape the future generations of processors that will enable the next remarkable Apple innovation? If so, we invite you to consider joining our team. We are seeking a senior engineer and technical leader with deep expertise in hardware and CAD flow development to own and drive Apple's AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) simulation methodology. You will architect, lead, and continuously evolve the AMS simulation methodology and tooling strategy for our analog, RF, interconnect, PMIC, and memory design teams - spanning circuit analysis, pre and post-layout simulation, RTL simulation, behavioral modeling, analog+digital co-simulation, logic equivalency checks, and signoff. You will define how design engineers interact with and leverage mixed-signal simulations and design verification workflows to deliver validated IP in cutting-edge silicon. As a senior member of the team, you will mentor engineers, influence technical direction, and lead small development teams to deliver novel and complex CAD solutions. The successful candidate thrives in dynamic, multi-disciplinary environments, operates with a high degree of autonomy, and brings a proven track record of driving innovation at scale. Your leadership will directly shape the experiences of millions of Apple customers through the delivery of state-of-the-art processors across Apple's diverse product portfolio.verification workflows, delivering validated IP in cutting-edge silicon. The successful candidate will thrive in dynamic, multi-disciplinary environments and demonstrate a hands-on, enthusiastic, and self-motivated approach. If you are passionate about delivering exceptional value to users and paying meticulous attention to detail, this role may be the perfect fit for you. Your contributions will directly impact the experiences of millions of Apple customers by delivering state-of-the-art processors across the diverse range of Apple products.

Description

As a member of our CAD team, you will architect, develop, maintain and enhance AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) simulation methodology and solutions for our analog, RF, and mixed-signal designs. The role requires you to work with different technology nodes and provide flows/methodologies for the different tool sets. You will be collaborating closely with design teams. You will drive and coordinate efforts to develop and validate AMS/co-simulation flows, providing ease of use, speeding up design validation, and ensuring functional silicon.
