CAD Engineer – EMIR Signoff

Do you love building elegant solutions to highly complex challenges Do you believe every detail matters As part of our Silicon Technologies group youll help design and manufacture Apples next-generation high-performance power-efficient system-on-chip (SoC) processors the technology that lets Apple products and services handle everything our customers love doing with their devices seamlessly and efficiently.

As a Signoff Engineer youll ensure that all necessary verification and analysis work is completed on complex mixed-signal designs prior to this highly visible role on our advanced Signoff CAD team youll work on state-of-the-art designs and apply hands-on experience in power/EMIR analysis to develop define and refine signoff methodologies at both the gate and transistor level. This includes but isnt limited to signoff for functional static/dynamic IR analysis scan-mode IVD analysis package model handling power EM analysis signal EM power switch modeling and IP reuse. Our team is also evolving how we approach signoff itself increasingly exploring AI/ML and LLM-driven techniques to accelerate analysis automate flow debugging and surface anomalies earlier in the design help 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 and ensure all signoff criteria are met by project close. Youll also interface directly with design groups providing frontline support for enablement enhancement and debug requests.
