Modeling Software Engineer

Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking Hardware-minded Software engineers to build innovative tools to design the next generation of Apple's world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs). This role combines software expertise with hardware knowledge to develop software representations of future hardware components.

The position focuses on Apple's multi-billion-transistor Ax SOCs, which power every iPhone and iPad. You'll work specifically with Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits that connect these SOCs to the physical world through complex IPs like SERDES for data communication, PLLs for clock generation, and various sensors.

As a Modeling Software Engineer, you'll bring a unique blend of software and hardware expertise to:

• Develop software representations of future hardware components
• Create tools that enable hundreds of designers to work efficiently
• Apply modern software design methodology to AMS Hardware design
• Build and implement simulation platforms for circuit design
• Design and develop scientific software frameworks
• Create custom hardware description libraries and languages

The role offers an opportunity to revolutionize IC hardware design by bringing higher-level software design principles to hardware development. You'll be working on tools that make circuit design more intuitive and productive, similar to how modern programming languages have transformed software development.

The position requires strong expertise in Python and/or C++, object-oriented programming, and database systems. Knowledge of circuit simulation tools and hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL) is essential. Understanding of analog mixed-signal circuits is a plus.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to bridge the gap between software and hardware design, working on cutting-edge technology that powers Apple's most popular devices. The role offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to work with world-class teams at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino.
