Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products very quickly. Do you want to bring passion and dedication to your job? There's no telling what you could accomplish at Apple. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with all Apple Hardware products. The same real passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices - we continue to strengthen our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. By now the industry is accustomed to Apple taping out the SoCs for our various products at a rigorous pace. In order to achieve this our world-class design processes are driven by our top-notch Physical Design engineers. Are you a classic partition PnR engineer recognised in the industry for the knowledge in standards and practices in Physical Design? Do you have strong track record with recent successful tape-outs in deep sub-micron technology? As SoC Digital Physical Design Engineer, you will take part in the large scale SoC physical design cycle from netlist to tape-out, including full flow of back-end implementation and verification always meeting schedule and design goals.

Are you ready to join some of the world's leading engineers and help us deliver the next generation of ground-breaking Apple products?
