Do you want to help build 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 an engineer with a passion for hardware and strong CAD flow development and collaboration skills. You will develop, maintain, and enhance AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal) simulation methodology and tools for our analog, RF, interconnect, PMIC, and memory design teams. You will gain hands-on experience in circuit analysis, pre and post-layout simulation, RTL simulation, behavioral modeling, analog+digital co-simulation, logic equivalency checks, and signoff. You will enable design engineers to efficiently drive and interact with their mixed-signal simulations and design 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.
