Interested in joining us to deliver the world’s most advanced silicon? At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products very quickly. There's no telling what you could accomplish at Apple. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with Apple silicon power all our products. The same real passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices - we continue to strengthen our commitment to leave the world better than we found it!
As a key member of our best-in-class CAD Group, you will be part of developing an analytic platform to identify and recommend solutions to signoff IR/EM analysis. You will have the opportunity to acquire a broad spectrum of knowledge spanning various disciplines and stages of silicon design, also applying machine learning (ML) and large language modeling (LLM) technologies to provide more accurate and efficient design feedback. These LLM applications encompass tasks such as large data summarization, information retrieval, triage, and chatbot development, alongside traditional silicon design areas such as static/dynamic IR analysis, signal/power grid extraction, STA timing, signal/power EM analysis, and signoff.
The successful candidate will excel in dynamic, collaborative working environments and exhibit a hands-on, enthusiastic, self-motivated approach, with a strong drive to succeed in challenging settings. If you are eager to tackle challenges with innovative solutions, deliver exceptional user experiences, and pay meticulous attention to detail, this role may be the perfect fit for you.
