This role is for an emerging member of Apple's CAD Group, focusing on innovative designs in electrical engineering and computer science. The position involves learning and applying methodologies related to electromigration, thermal analysis, and signal integrity. You will work alongside senior engineers and contribute to the development and automation of CAD flows. This is an opportunity to be part of a team that supports the creation of groundbreaking Apple products.

• BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Strong academic foundation in VLSI design, semiconductor physics, circuit theory, or computer engineering
• Basic understanding of electromigration mechanisms, heating effects, current density, or chip reliability concepts
• Exposure to fundamental concepts in static timing analysis, circuit simulation, parasitic extraction, or physical design principles
• Proficiency in at least one of Tcl, Python, or Perl scripting languages
• Prior internship, co-op, or academic research experience in VLSI design, CAD/EDA flow development, or chip reliability
• Familiarity or hands-on exposure to commercial EDA tools through coursework or projects is a plus
• Curiosity about or coursework in AI/ML applications in CAD/EDA workflows

• Assist senior engineers in the development, testing, and deployment of EM/SEB/thermal analysis methodologies and flows
• Support the automation, maintenance, and regression testing of CAD flows from setup through sign-off
• Help run, validate, and debug simulation and verification runs on benchmark and production designs
• Assist in developing and maintaining verification scripts and rule checks for clock trees, high-speed data paths, and critical signal nets
• Partner with senior team members to support cross-functional teams by triaging flow execution issues and gathering data

• 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.
