What happens when you run almost everything on an SoC all at once while powering down blocks, hammering new features, and running a complex suite of algorithms? You find bugs. That’s exactly what we do. We break Apple Silicon with our bare metal system level SW suite that runs mostly post-silicon, leverages pre-silicon and finds corner-case hardware bugs. Join our team to uphold the high quality of Apple Silicon.
