Silicon Validation Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldnt have imagined and now cant imagine living without. Its the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

APPLE INC has the following available in Austin Texas. Design and create validation tests for post-silicon environments to target the functionality of processor designs. Collaborate with design and verification engineers to debug/root cause functional issues on silicon. Work closely with Apples Verification Team to create random test templates and provide random tests in assembly. Develop processor debug tools to facilitate debugging and root cause of functional issues on silicon. Use C/C and Python programming for the development of processor debug tools and validation content. Use pre-silicon simulators and analysis of waveforms for debugging of functional issues. Use of C/C and Python programming for the development of processor debug tools and validation content. Work with design and architecture teams in the definition and execution of experiments to resolve CPU silicon issues. Use Python scripting to develop infrastructure to automate execution results collection and reporting of post-silicon validation tests. 40 hours/week.
