Job description

As a Signoff Engineer in the Silicon Technologies group, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the verification and analysis of complex mixed-signal designs before tapeout. You will work on advanced Signoff CAD methodologies, focusing on power and EMIR analysis at both the gate and transistor levels. This position involves collaboration with Design, CAD, and Technology teams to confirm EDA flows and tools. Additionally, you will explore AI/ML techniques to enhance analysis and automate debugging processes.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirement of a BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in CAD, EMIR analysis, or related circuit design roles.
  • Solid understanding of circuit design principles and EMIR analysis at the transistor and gate level.
  • In-depth knowledge of industry-leading tools such as Redhawk, Voltus, and Totem.
  • Experience in simulation and power analysis to verify circuit performance.
  • Strong understanding of CAD flows.
  • Proficiency in scripting/programming languages such as Perl and Python.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Experience developing CMOS analog and mixed-signal designs.
  • Experience applying AI/ML or LLM-based tools to EDA flow automation.

Responsibilities

  • Ensure all necessary verification and analysis work is completed on complex mixed-signal designs prior to tapeout.
  • Define signoff requirements early in the project lifecycle.
  • Partner with Design, CAD, and Technology teams to confirm EDA flows and tools are set up and running correctly.
  • Ensure all signoff criteria are met by project close.
  • Interface directly with design groups to provide frontline support for enablement, enhancement, and debug requests.

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. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
