Job description

As a Material Modeling and Simulation Engineer at Apple, you will be part of the Material Modeling Team, which focuses on enhancing simulation confidence to support critical design decisions. Your work will involve developing and validating simulation methodologies that ensure strong correlation between simulation results and physical measurements. You will collaborate with hardware engineering teams across various product divisions, aiming to improve PCB material modeling quality and inform design decisions for new technologies. This role requires a passion for bridging the gap between modeled and measured results and driving the adoption of proven methodologies.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a relevant field of study
  • 3+ years of related work and relevant academic experience
  • Hands-on experience with EM simulation vendor tools such as HFSS or similar
  • Expertise in AI/ML methodologies such as DNN, PINN, or gradient boosting
  • Good understanding of Electromagnetics
  • Experience with scripting languages
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering or a relevant field is preferred
  • A deep understanding of PCB material characterization methods and material property modeling across environmental conditions
  • Experience with VNA-based S-parameter measurement, TRL/TDR calibration, and de-embedding workflows
  • Strong understanding of simulation-to-measurement correlation workflows, including de-embedding techniques
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills

Responsibilities

  • Develop and validate simulation methodologies that drive strong correlation between simulation results and physical measurements
  • Collaborate with hardware engineering teams across multiple product divisions
  • Focus on improving PCB material modeling quality and simulation-to-measurement correlation
  • Bridge the gap between modeled and measured results
  • Drive the adoption of proven methodologies across a diverse set of products

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.
