SummaryPosted: Dec 3, 2024Role Number:200581660At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a forward-thinking and detail oriented Mixed-Signal Model Validation Engineer. If you are early in your journey towards a chip design career and wish to challenge yourself in a technical and multi-disciplinary effort, come join the Apple mixed-signal silicon design team. In this position you will build a strong foundation in the working of full custom analog and high-speed digital circuits. You will work with experts in circuit design, behavioral modeling and design verification. You will gain expertise in hybrid simulation methods and various flows used to validate full custom designs.DescriptionDescriptionIn this job you will be responsible for validating mixed-signal behavioral models written in SystemVerilog. The validation process will involve creating self-checking testbenches to simulate models against the circuits they were derived from. It will also involve functional testing of the model against the specification and creating assertions to flag illegal operating conditions. You will additionally help setup and run various static flows like formal logical equivalence, linting, and timing checks. You will also contribute to the streamlining and automation of these flows across mixed-signal design teams.Minimum QualificationsMinimum QualificationsBachelor’s degree with minimum 3 years of relevant experienceKey QualificationsKey QualificationsPreferred QualificationsPreferred QualificationsExcellent knowledge of SystemVerilog and AssertionsAbility to read custom circuit schematics and understand functionalitySolid understanding of logic/SPICE simulations as well as SPICE/HDL co-simulationsExcellent knowledge of digital logic gates, clocking and state elementsBasics of passive and active circuit elements, voltage and current sources, and analog blocks like amplifiers ADCs/DACs/ComparatorsFamiliarity with writing scripts in PERL/Python is a strong plusFamiliarity with formal equivalence and Lint/CDC/RDC tools is a strong plusEducation & ExperienceEducation & ExperienceAdditional RequirementsAdditional RequirementsMore
