Apple Silicon Engineering is looking for Hardware-minded Software Engineers to develop innovative tools for designing next-generation systems-on-chip (SOCs). The role focuses on creating specialized software tools and simulation platforms for analog mixed-signal circuits in Apple's custom silicon chips. Candidates will leverage their software engineering expertise alongside hardware knowledge to build automation frameworks and modeling environments. This position requires strong programming skills and involves collaboration with design engineers to enhance circuit design processes.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or C++.
• Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and software architecture design.
• Experience with data storage systems, schema design, and database architecture.
• Knowledge of event-driven programming and system-level simulation frameworks.
• Experience developing web applications and designing frontend user interfaces.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, packaging, and deployment.

• Develop software representations of future hardware circuits.
• Create specialized software tools and simulation platforms for circuit design.
• Build automation frameworks and optimization algorithms to assist circuit designers.
• Collaborate with design engineers to gather requirements and drive tool adoption.
• Apply modern software design methodologies to hardware design challenges.

• 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.
