CAD Engineer, Silicon Learning and Static Timing Analysis
Do you love tackling highly complex challenges with a keen eye towards revealing what has been hidden to others? Do you intrinsically understand the difference between correlation and causation? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, youʼll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC) working on leading edge semiconductor technology nodes where the hidden details make a real difference in performance, power, and area. Youʼll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means youʼll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Appleʼs devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices and things that they haven't yet imagined possible.
In this critical role, you will be responsible for analyzing silicon performance data and incorporating the learnings back into static timing analysis tools, flows, margins, and design closure methodologies to drive continuous improvements in Apple products. You will help refine our understanding of advanced silicon to truly optimize performance and battery life in phones, laptops, and products not yet dreamt of.
