CAD Engineer – Design Verification Methodology

Do you love building elegant solutions to highly complex challenges As part of our Silicon Technologies group youll help design and manufacture our next-generation high-performance power-efficient processor system-on-chip (SoC). Youll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means youll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apples devices. Together you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices!

As a member of our CAD team you will develop maintain and enhance existing sophisticated software systems for regression-testing Apples silicon designs in software simulation to find and report defects in our chip designs and thus ensure that Apple tapes-out world-class silicon. Your experience and innovative ideas will inform the design of the next generation of these regression systems. Your experience and insight your skill at diagnosing the root cause of complex problems and your ability to guide engineers who come to you with problems will be important contributions to an extended CAD team that comprehensively supports Apples DV and chip design engineering efforts. You will work closely with EDA vendors to incorporate new capabilities of their commercial tools and to resolve problems.
