Early Career CAD Automation Engineer (Design Verification)

Summary

At Apple, new ideas quickly become extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences. Join the CAD Hardware Tech team to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product. The team is responsible for automating processes in designing Apple’s chips that power products from Apple Watch and Apple TV to iPhone and iPad.

As a CAD engineer, you will apply your software knowledge to develop new methodologies that improve how computer chips are designed—maximizing simulation performance and reducing resource requirements (compute time and space). You will work with internal and vendor teams to develop, deploy, support, and debug automation for large-scale chip design simulations.
