In this role within the Silicon Validation Team at Apple, you will focus on silicon validation and debugging related to anomalous behaviors in Apple SoCs. You will work closely with functional test writers to understand the architectures of IP blocks and define validation plans. Your main tasks will include executing system tests on prototype SoCs and characterizing functional voltages under various workloads. Additionally, you will collaborate with domain experts and downstream testing teams to resolve issues and provide feedback for product operation voltages.

• A minimum of a bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
• At least 10 years of relevant industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or a related field.
• Experience with SoC bring up.
• Experience with system debug.
• Knowledge of computer architectures, including cache, memory hierarchy, and data pipelines.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.

• Focus on silicon validation and debugging related to anomalous behaviors using system workloads.
• Work closely with functional test writers to understand high-level architectures of IP blocks within Apple SoCs.
• Define and execute validation plans through scripts and automation frameworks on prototype SoCs.
• Characterize functional voltages of SoCs under various workloads and analyze data across voltage domains.
• Collaborate with domain experts to define design of experiments and test possible workarounds.
• Facilitate issue resolution by collaborating with downstream testing teams.
