Job description

As a Physical Electrical Analysis Engineer on Apple's SoC team, you will focus on driving electrical analysis and verification for System on Chip (SoC) designs. This senior role involves collaborating with various teams to evaluate and validate technology flows for chip development. You will manage schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts to ensure the success of Apple's SoC products. Your expertise will contribute to the innovative technologies that define Apple's hardware offerings.

Requirements

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Knowledge of low-power circuit design, computer architecture, and/or digital systems
  • Experience with industrial EDA backend tools including Redhawk, PrimeRail, and Voltus
  • Experience with ASIC or AMS physical implementation and analysis flow for IP blocks and SoC fullchip
  • Proficient in automating and debugging verification flows for digital VLSI design
  • Experience with Innovus, Design Compiler, PrimeTime, and Tempus
  • Familiar with voltage drop budgeting, low-power design techniques, and sign-off criteria for solid-state digital circuit systems
  • Experience in multiple design tape-outs regarding power integrity signoff
  • Circuit design background and SPICE experience

Responsibilities

  • Perform various electrical analyses at the block or chip level, including Gridcheck, ESD, Static/Dynamic IR, EM, Noise, and Signal EM
  • Collaborate with CAD, library, circuit technology, and system teams for tech and flow evaluation, bring-up, validation, and qualification for SoC chip development
  • Work with the implementation team during the entire chip design cycle to drive EMIR test planning, analysis support, and sign-off closure for tape-out
  • Manage schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts for the success of Apple's SoC product development

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.
