Do you love building elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you’ll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple’s devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices! The Signoff Engineer ensures that all necessary and appropriate verification and analysis work has been performed on a complex mixed-signal design prior to tapeout. In this highly visible role as a core team member in our advanced Signoff CAD Group, you will enhance your career working on innovative designs. You’ll use your hands-on experience in Custom analysis to develop/define & refine the signoff methodologies for transistor level as well as gate level designs. The areas will include but are not limited to signoff of power and signal analysis, Power-intent verification, Formal verification, mixed-signal simulation, and signoff of IP for reuse. You will contribute to the definition of signoff requirements early in the project, work with other teams in the organization (Design, CAD and Technology) to verify that the EDA flows and tools are set up and run correctly during the project, and all signoff criteria are met at the end of the project. Responsibility also includes directly communicating with design groups and providing frontline support for enablement / enhancement / debug requests.
