Job description

The role is for a senior engineer and technical leader focused on developing and enhancing Apple's AMS simulation methodology for analog, RF, and mixed-signal designs. The successful candidate will work closely with design teams to drive the development and validation of AMS/co-simulation flows, ensuring functional silicon and speeding up design validation. This position requires a hands-on approach and the ability to mentor engineers while influencing technical direction. The contributions made will significantly impact the experiences of millions of Apple customers through the delivery of state-of-the-art processors.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 10+ years of relevant AMS industry experience
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Perl, C/C++, or TCL programming
  • Deep, hands-on experience with mixed-signal co-simulation tools and methodologies
  • Expert-level experience with industry-standard AMS tools including Cadence, Synopsys, or Siemens
  • Deep knowledge of analog simulation tools such as Cadence Spectre or Synopsys PrimeSim
  • Proficiency with behavioral and functional circuit description languages including SystemVerilog and VHDL
  • Demonstrated experience leading the application of LLMs/AI agents to CAD software development
  • Strong understanding of custom IC designs and transistor description formats
  • Advanced skills in object-oriented programming and system architecture

Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop, maintain, and enhance AMS simulation methodology and solutions
  • Collaborate closely with design teams to provide flows and methodologies for different tool sets
  • Drive and coordinate efforts to develop and validate AMS/co-simulation flows
  • Mentor engineers and lead small development teams to deliver complex CAD solutions
  • Influence technical direction and drive quality and productivity improvements at an organizational level
  • Deliver validated IP in cutting-edge silicon through effective design verification workflows

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.
