Job description

The Silicon Validation team is seeking engineers at all levels to validate the functional behavior of Apple's next generation SoCs. This role involves deep engagement with SoC architecture and the existing SiVal software stack. Engineers will creatively test the SoC for various stress and corner-case scenarios. The team values a detail-oriented, curious, and persistent validation mentality.

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 10 years of experience.
  • Strong software skills in C/C++.
  • Familiarity with programming in assembly language.
  • Experience in writing code, developing tests, and strategies for SoC silicon validation is a huge plus.
  • Experience in graphics, video codecs, video capture, display mechanisms, and storage technologies is ideal.
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive system-level validation of Apple SoCs.
  • Dive deep into the SoC architecture.
  • Become a specialist in the existing SiVal software stack.
  • Develop creative testing methods for various stress and corner-case scenarios.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
