The role is for an entry-level engineer in Apple's Custom Timing CAD team, focusing on transistor-level timing verification and formal verification. The team is responsible for developing flows, tools, and methodologies essential for verifying custom silicon designs. The engineer will work closely with analog and digital designers to support and debug critical sign-off disciplines. This position offers an opportunity to shape the quality and schedule of Apple's advanced chips while fostering technical curiosity and learning.

• Minimum of a BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 2 years of relevant industry experience.
• Programming or scripting experience in Perl, Python, TCL, or a similar language.
• Foundational understanding of digital or custom IC design and static timing analysis.
• Exposure to tools such as NanoTime, ESP, PrimeTime, or HSPICE is a plus.
• Knowledge of dynamic logic, memory arrays, or mixed-signal circuit techniques.
• Familiarity with SPICE netlists, device models, and parasitic extraction formats such as DSPF or SPF.
• Knowledge of formal verification tools and concepts and experience with SystemVerilog RTL.
• Interest in AI/ML-driven innovation for CAD workflows.
• Strong communication skills to describe technical issues accurately.

• Support and develop flows for transistor-level timing verification and formal verification.
• Partner closely with analog and digital designers across multiple programs and technology nodes.
• Help set up flows, debug issues, and achieve clean sign-off.
• Contribute to the quality and schedule of Apple's most advanced chips.
