Description
Apple has an extraordinary opportunity for a senior level design engineer to drive and lead technical engagements between Apple and silicon and IP suppliers working on groundbreaking technologies. We seek individuals with significant experience with all phases of silicon development spanning micro-architecture specification, pre-silicon activities (e.g. simulation, emulation and verification), post-silicon activities (e.g. bring-up, validation, characterization and qualification), and implementations. You will also have knowledge of digital, analog and memory technology product development and productization tasks required for high volume manufacturing, including characterization, validation, qualification, and statistical analysis.
Minimum Qualifications
BS in Electrical Engineering or related field + 20 years relevant experience. Proven experience in digital and mixed-signal integrated circuit design and design automation tools. SOC Implementation Skills. Hands on experience with the front end and back end digital tool suites, i.e. place and route, synthesis and design verification.
Preferred Qualifications
Deep knowledge of EDA tools and approaches for managing both the design complexity and large technical teams. Demonstrated experience in digital, mixed-signal, analog, or memory integrated circuit design, fab, package, product, test, applications, or reliability engineering leadership. Strong communication and program management skills are required. Comfortable with dynamic schedule driven development, crisis management, and directing multi-functional debug efforts. Excellent verbal and written social skills.
