Analog Mixed-Signal Modeling Software Engineer

Job description

Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking Hardware-minded Software engineers to create innovative tools to design the next generation of Apple’s world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs). Apple’s multi-billion-transistor Ax SOCs are the brain of every iPhone and iPad. The Analog Mixed-Signal circuits connect them to the physical world via complex IPs such as SERDES for data communication, PLLs for clock generation, and sensors for measuring physical quantities. Modeling Software Engineers bring a unique and versatile combination of software and hardware expertise. On their way from the designer's mind to becoming a piece of silicon, circuits take form in software. Modeling Software Engineers develop those software-representations of future hardware and then make them real. This includes both the circuits themselves, and the underlying tools to enable hundreds more designers. We use modern software design methodology and apply it to Hardware design. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering. Preferred Qualifications: Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or C++ Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and software architecture design Experience with computational geometry, constraint solvers, or optimization algorithms Knowledge of event-driven programming and system-level simulation frameworks Understanding of analog layout principles (matching, shielding, parasitics, DRC/LVS) and EDA tool APIs and file formats (LEF/DEF, GDSII, OpenAccess) Experience developing web applications (e.g., Flask, React) and designing frontend user interfaces
