Early Career Analog Mixed-Signal Modeling Software Engineer (m/f/d)

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 (AMS) 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 AMS Hardware design.
