Job description

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

Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking Hardware-minded Software engineers to create innovativetools 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 AnalogMixed-Signal (AMS) circuits connect them to the physical world via complex IPs such asSERDES for data communication, PLLs for clock generation, and sensors for measuringphysical quantities.Modeling Software Engineers bring a unique and versatile combination of software andhardware 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 circuitsthemselves, and the underlying tools to enable hundreds more designers. We use modernsoftware design methodology and apply it to AMS Hardware design

Description

This role develops specialized software tools and simulation platforms that enable the design of analog mixed-signal circuits for Apple's custom silicon chips.This position combines software engineering expertise with hardware knowledge to build automation frameworks, optimization algorithms, and modeling environments that help circuit designers create the physical interfaces connecting Apple's 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/development

Responsibilities

• Design and implement software for simulation platforms that integrate multiple simulators for analog mixed-signal IP development
• Build scientific software packages and frameworks for hardware design automation
• Build and maintain custom model libraries, simulation frameworks, and domain-specific languages to support accurate circuit behavior and performance analysis
• Develop web-based interfaces and visualization tools to enhance designer productivity

Minimum Qualifications

• BS and extensive years of relevant industry experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or C++
• Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and software architecture design
• Experience with advanced statistical/numerical/optimization/machine-learning algorithms
• Electrical Engineering background or equivalent industry experience and knowledge
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines
• Knowledge of event-driven programming and system-level simulation frameworks
• Experience developing frontend user interfaces (e.g. web applications)
