Job description

As a Physical Electrical Analysis Engineer on Apple's SoC team, you will focus on the electrical analysis and verification of System on Chip (SoC) designs. This senior role involves performing various electrical analyses at both the block and chip levels. You will collaborate with multiple teams to evaluate technology flows and support the entire chip design cycle. Your expertise will be crucial in driving test planning, analysis support, and ensuring successful product development.

Requirements

  • Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Knowledge of low-power circuit design, computer architecture, and 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
  • Familiarity 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

  • Drive the electrical analysis and verification of SoC designs
  • Perform various electrical analyses 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
  • Work with the implementation team throughout the chip design cycle to support EMIR test planning and analysis
  • Manage schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts for 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.
