Join Apple's Silicon Engineering Group as an Analog Layout Automation Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in developing the next generation of Apple's systems-on-chip. This position focuses on the evolution of Analog/Mixed-Signal circuits, emphasizing automation and the application of AI/ML techniques to enhance design efficiency. You will work closely with circuit designers and utilize advanced CAD tools to create high-performance layouts. Your contributions will directly impact the performance and quality of iconic Apple devices.

• Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience designing analog and mixed-signal layouts in deep-submicron CMOS and FinFET technologies.
• Strong programming/scripting skills in SKILL, Perl, TCL, Shell, and/or Python.
• Solid understanding of supervised and self-supervised learning, convolutional neural networks, and core training concepts.
• Hands-on experience with PyTorch for model development and experimentation.
• Proven record in implementing high-quality analog layouts with tight device matching, low noise, and low power consumption.
• Familiarity with failure-prone circuit/layout structures and analog best practices.
• Strong proficiency in custom and standard-cell floor planning and physical integration.
• Technical understanding of IR drop, RC delay, electromigration, and related reliability concerns.
• Experience using advanced Cadence Virtuoso features and familiarity with Cadence Innovus.

• Convert design concepts into silicon by collaborating with circuit designers.
• Review floor plans, analyze circuits, and run verification suites.
• Resolve LVS, DRC, and ERC issues to deliver next-generation SOCs.
• Drive automation by developing scripts and improving workflows.
• Apply AI/ML for layout optimization and verification acceleration.
• Interpret physical verification reports, including DRC, ERC, and LVS.
• Automate layout tasks, flows, and quality checks using scripting and CAD tools.
• Work effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.
