Job description

The PMU team at Apple is seeking a senior silicon validation engineer to work on post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of analog and power ICs. This role involves collaborating with IC design and product design teams to ensure high-quality product delivery. The team values creativity, teamwork, and offers a dynamic work environment with opportunities for learning. Candidates should have a strong background in analog circuit design and validation processes.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • 3+ years of experience in silicon validation, testing automation, board-level hardware design, or IC design.
  • Strong bring-up and debugging skills with hands-on lab work experience.
  • Proven experience with debug and performance analysis of analog circuits and power distribution for high-speed digital ICs.
  • Strong software automation skills, such as Python or TestStand.
  • Effective communication skills for collaboration across multi-functional teams.

Responsibilities

  • Define test plans for custom ICs and drive execution from first-silicon to mass production.
  • Participate in the definition of custom board-level hardware for IC bring-up and testing.
  • Define validation plans and support product design teams in design integration.
  • Mentor and train junior validation engineers.
  • Work closely with IC design teams to ensure tight interaction between pre-silicon design and post-silicon validation.

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.
