Job description

Apple's SOC Silicon Validation Services team is looking for a skilled and curious engineer to help shape the tools that power silicon debug across Apple. We're a close-knit, cross-disciplinary team with deep expertise spanning hardware, software, infrastructure, and operations — and we're looking for someone who thrives at that intersection.

You'll join a small, tightly integrated team where your contributions have real reach: the tools we build are used by hundreds of engineers across Apple's cross-functional silicon debug community. You'll collaborate on a well-established, evolving ecosystem and be challenged to bring a new perspective and opportunities to the table.

Description

-Design, build, and enhance silicon debug tools spanning automated feature extraction, data collation, visualization, and analysis
-Drive rapid, targeted debug and triage workflows for engineers across the silicon pipeline
-Contribute to both frontend, backend, and design specific development within a professional engineering environment
-Explore and implement shift-left strategies to surface issues earlier in the silicon development cycle
-Actively leverage AI — both for productivity and in tool capabilities — to accelerate debug and triage intelligence
-Identify new development opportunities and bring your own ideas into the roadmap

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with SoC architecture and micro-architecture
  • Proven ability to drive silicon tool development from concept to delivery
  • Strong full-stack development instincts: comfortable across frontend, backend, and data layers
  • Hands-on experience with C, Python, and SystemVerilog
  • Experience applying AI/ML in real engineering workflows
  • Strong problem-solving skills and comfort operating across hardware and software boundaries
  • Collaborative by nature
  • Experience with DFX (Design for Test/Debug/Manufacturability)
  • Experience with databases and data pipeline design, including ETL/ELT concepts
