Job description

The role is for an engineer in the Silicon Engineering group focused on modeling power dissipation for various IPs in upcoming generations of Apple SOCs. The engineer will collaborate with multiple teams to optimize power efficiency and establish voltage-frequency operating points. This position involves working closely with lab and silicon characterization teams to correlate models with hardware data. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering and experience in low-power digital design.

Requirements

  • A minimum of a bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
  • A minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Understanding of SOC power modeling and current demand.
  • Understanding of electrical properties of on-die PDN, power gating, package and system power delivery.
  • Skills in scripting, data analysis and experience with EDA tools.
  • Understanding of VLSI design flow and CMOS technology.
  • Extensive background in electrical engineering.
  • Ability to understand and model thermal control loops and throttling mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with physical design tools for power optimization.
  • Great teammate and excellent communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Model power dissipation and power delivery.
  • Establish voltages for DVFM states of IPs, including Neural Engines, CPUs, Graphics, compute (AI/ML) accelerators, media IPs, caches and fabric.
  • Model power dissipation for customer use-cases.
  • Interact with the Technology team, Silicon Validation, and Product Engineering teams to establish voltage-frequency design points pre- and post-silicon.
  • Work with the power lab and test teams to correlate models to hardware data.

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.
