Analog Mixed-Signal Modeling Engineer
Santa Clara Valley (Cupertino), California, United States
Hardware
At Apple, we work every day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? Apple Silicon Engineering Group has an opportunity for a forward-thinking and unusually creative AMS modeling engineer.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing accurate and efficient models for analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Your Expertise in circuit modeling and simulation will contribute to the design and verification of the next generation of Apple’s world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs).
Modeling engineers bring a unique and versatile combination of hardware, physics, applied mathematics, and software expertise. On their way from architecture to silicon, circuits take form in software. As part of the innovative AMS modeling Software team, you will develop those software representations of future hardware, and help make them real.
The ideal candidate will have extensive years' experience in AMS design, architecture, or modeling as well as programming efficiency.
As an Analog Mixed-Signal Modeling Engineer, you will have the opportunity to work on future Apple AMS interfaces and help shape the future of semiconductor technology.
