Descripción de la vacante

Apple Inc. in San Diego seeks an experienced, hands-on manager to lead the AMS Silicon Validation team.

You will build a high-performing engineering organization that delivers robust silicon validation while developing technical talent and fostering a culture of excellence. The successful candidate will partner with validation leaders across sites to execute complex IP validation programs, own AMS IP validation across multiple sites, and drive scalable engineering support for industry-leading

Formación

• Bachelor or Master degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 12+ years of experience in silicon validation, mixed-signal design, analog design, or related semiconductor engineering.
• 3+ years of technical leadership or engineering management experience leading validation or mixed-signal engineering teams.
• Strong hands-on experience in silicon bring-up, characterization, validation planning, complex debug, failure analysis, and validation of advanced mixed-signal or high-speed interface IPs.
• Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop engineers while building high-performing technical teams.

Responsabilidades

• Lead and develop the San Diego AMS Silicon Validation team by building a high-performing engineering organization through technical leadership, coaching, mentoring, talent development, and recruitment.
• Remain hands-on in silicon validation by personally contributing to validation planning, silicon bring-up, characterization, complex debug, stress-to-fail methodologies, root-cause analysis, failure analysis, and validation execution for advanced mixed-signal IPs.
• Lead validation execution from first silicon through production readiness, ensuring high-quality technical execution, timely issue resolution, and continuous improvement across multiple product generations.
• Partner closely with Design, Architecture, RTL, Verification, and validation teams across multiple sites to successfully deliver complex silicon programs on aggressive schedules.
• Build a collaborative engineering culture where engineers across multiple sites operate as one integrated validation organization, openly sharing knowledge, leveraging one another's expertise, and jointly delivering program success.
• Develop a technically balanced validation team capable of independently owning assigned AMS IPs, from foundational analog IPs to complex high-speed subsystem validations, while collaborating seamlessly with other sites on larger multi-site programs.
• Foster a culture where technical decisions are driven by engineering expertise, program priorities, and shared accountability rather than organizational boundaries, enabling engineers to both lead and contribute across multiple validation programs.
• Collaborate with validation leadership to distribute technical ownership and engineering capacity across sites, enabling balanced workload, scalable execution, and effective cross-site support throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Build strong working relationships with cross-site validation leaders, proactively aligning technical ownership, execution responsibilities, priorities, and engineering resources to maximize organizational effectiveness.
• Establish resilient cross-site execution models that provide timely engineering support during critical silicon milestones, including periods requiring continuous validation coverage.
• Drive continuous improvement in validation methodologies, laboratory infrastructure, automation, AI‑assisted validation, robotic test systems, data analytics, and engineering productivity.
• Manage multiple concurrent silicon programs by balancing technical execution, engineering priorities, resource planning, schedules, risks, and delivery commitments.
