As a member of the CAD group at Apple, you will support gate-level glitch noise and static timing analysis methodologies to ensure the integrity of Apple silicon. This role involves learning and applying sign-off methodologies and production CAD flows under the guidance of senior engineers. You will collaborate closely with CAD and physical design teams while gaining exposure to modern automation techniques. Your contributions will help improve the robustness of Apple products across advanced technology nodes.

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline and 3+ years of industry experience.
• Background in gate-level signal integrity, with an emphasis on crosstalk glitch noise and static timing analysis (STA).
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard SI and STA tools such as PrimeTime-SI or Tempus.
• Exposure to noise and timing sign-off on advanced process nodes.
• Experience with noise and timing ECO flows and techniques for design closure.
• Scripting and automation skills in Python, Tcl, and/or Perl.
• Familiarity with standard cell library noise characterization or correlating gate-level models with SPICE simulations.
• Understanding of place-and-route implementation engines and physical design convergence.
• Interest in modern AI/LLM-assisted workflows for CAD scripting, report parsing, or automated triage.
• Strong communication and presentation skills.

• Contribute to the development of sign-off methodologies, noise margins, and tool qualification strategies for gate-level glitch noise and static timing analysis.
• Develop and maintain production CAD flows and scripts for core noise and STA tools.
• Support the glitch noise analysis approach, including thresholds and its impact on timing and functional integrity.
• Assist in root-cause analysis of crosstalk glitch and timing anomalies using automated workflows.
• Collaborate with design and physical design teams on noise/timing constraints and flow issues.
• Support noise and timing ECO methodologies to accelerate design convergence toward tapeout.
• Participate in systematic tool and version qualifications, tracking performance against baselines.
• Help author documentation and guidelines and share best practices with the team.

• 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.
