CAD Engineer, Silicon Learning and Static Timing Analysis

* Work with design teams, DFT, CAD, and product engineering to design experiments, analyze results and refine design methodologies applied across all silicon design at Apple.

* Data mining and analysis of silicon data to establish correlation metrics to design closure activities including Static Timing Analysis

* Assist in developing and deploying design closure margins and methodologies targeted to optimize power/performance tradeoffs which have material impact on the final products

Minimum requirement of BS + 3 years of relevant industry experience
Coding experience in one or more of C, Perl, Python, or Tcl

Experience working in static timing analysis, DFT, physical design, failure analysis or CAD

Static Timing Analysis with Primetime, Tempus, or equivalent
Solid C, Perl, Python or Tcl coding/debug skills coupled with an understanding of the design challenges in advanced technology nodes
Fundamentals of statistics, hypothesis testing, data mining, Machine Learning and Design of Experiments.
Prior exposure to DFT, Tetramax, Tessent, silicon debug, or semiconductor processing is a plus.

Do you love tackling highly complex challenges with a keen eye towards revealing what has been hidden to others? Do you intrinsically understand the difference between correlation and causation? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, youʼll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC) working on leading edge semiconductor technology nodes where the hidden details make a real difference in performance, power, and area. Youʼll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means youʼll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Appleʼs devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices and things that they haven’t yet imagined possible.

In this critical role, you will be responsible for analyzing silicon performance data and incorporating the learnings back into static timing analysis tools, flows, margins, and design closure methodologies to drive continuous improvements in Apple products. You will help refine our understanding of advanced silicon to truly optimize performance and battery life in phones, laptops, and products not yet dreamt of.
