Job description
The role involves working as a silicon validation engineer within Apple's Silicon Technologies group, focusing on post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of analog and power ICs. The team is diverse and fast-growing, providing an environment that fosters engineering refinement, creativity, and teamwork. Engineers will collaborate closely with IC design and product design teams to ensure high-quality product delivery. This position offers endless learning opportunities in a dynamic work environment.
Requirements
- BS degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
- 3+ years of total experience in silicon validation, testing automation, board-level hardware design, or IC design.
- Strong bring-up and debugging skills with hands-on lab work experience.
- Experience with complex test equipment setups for analog measurement.
- Proven experience with debug and performance analysis of analog circuits, voltage regulators, and power distribution for high-speed digital ICs.
- Strong software automation skills, including proficiency in Python, LabVIEW, or TestStand.
- Effective communication skills for collaboration across large multi-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Define test plans for custom ICs and drive execution from first-silicon through to shipping mass-production products.
- Participate in the definition of custom board-level hardware for IC bring-up and testing.
- Define validation plans and work with product design teams to support design integration.
- Mentor and train junior validation engineers.
- Collaborate with IC design teams to ensure tight interaction between pre-silicon design and post-silicon validation.
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.
