61 jobs for "Circuit Design Automation Engineer"

Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking Hardware-minded Software engineers to create innovative
tools to design the next generation of Apple's world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs).
Apple's multi-billion-transistor Ax SOCs are the brain of every iPhone and iPad. The Analog
Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits connect them to the physical world via complex IPs such as
SERDES for data communication, PLLs for clock generation, and sensors for measuring
physical quantities.

Modeling Software Engineers bring a unique and versatile combination of software and
hardware expertise. On their way from the designer's mind to becoming a piece of silicon,
circuits take form in software. Modeling Software Engineers develop those software-
representations of future hardware and then make them real. This includes both the circuits
themselves, and the underlying tools to enable hundreds more designers. We use modern
software design methodology and apply it to AMS Hardware design

Description
This role develops specialized software tools and simulation platforms that enable the design of analog mixed-signal circuits for Apple's custom silicon chips.
This position combines software engineering expertise with hardware knowledge to build automation frameworks, optimization algorithms, and modeling environments that help circuit designers create the physical interfaces connecting Apple's processors to the real world.
The position requires strong programming skills in Python or C++ and involves working on challenging problems at the intersection of software development and hardware design/development","responsibilities":"Design and implement software for simulation platforms that integrate multiple simulators for analog mixed-signal IP development
Build scientific software packages and frameworks for hardware design automation
Build and maintain custom model libraries, simulation frameworks, and domain-specific languages to support accurate circuit behavior and performance analysis
Develop web-based interfaces and visualization tools to enhance designer productivity

Preferred Qualifications
Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or C++
Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and software architecture design
Experience with advanced statistical/numerical/optimization/machine-learning algorithms
Electrical Engineering background or equivalent industry experience and knowledge
Experience with CI/CD pipelines
Knowledge of event-driven programming and system-level simulation frameworks
Experience developing frontend user interfaces (e.g. web applications)
