You will participate in code reviews of other blocks in the chips, offering proposals to more efficiently achieve our goal of bug free designs on the first tapeout. In addition to traditional digital circuit simulation, you will have the opportunity to learn and use other verification techniques such as formal verification, digital mixed signal verification, and analog mixed signal simulation using state-of-the-art tools.
Although the team is small, we supply silicon to most of Apple’s industry leading hardware development teams. We have a close-knit, high performing team ready to ready to mentor engineers entering the mixed signal ASIC development field. Join us in building Apple’s next generation products. Do you want to be a part of building the “surprise and delight” in Apple’s future products?
