Analog Mixed-Signal Design Software Engineer

Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking Hardware-minded Software engineers to create innovative tools to design the next generation of Apples world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs).nnApples 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 Software Engineers bring a unique and versatile combination of software and hardware expertise. On their way from the designers 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.

This role develops specialized software tools and simulation platforms that enable the design of analog mixed-signal circuits for Apples custom silicon chips. Youll combine software engineering expertise with hardware knowledge to build automation frameworks optimization algorithms and modeling environments that help circuit designers create the physical interfaces connecting Apples processors to the real world. The position requires strong programming skills in Python or C and involves working on challenging problems at the intersection of software development and hardware design.
