About The Position

At Apple, we work every day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you
love tackling challenges that no one has solved yet? Join us to help deliver the
next generation of Apple's world-leading SoCs. As a member of our dynamic
silicon validation group, you will have the rare and rewarding opportunity to
ensure the quality and performance of the foundational analog and mixed-signal
IP at the heart of our products. This highly visible role places you at the
center of cross-functional teams, where your work will directly contribute to
products that delight and inspire millions of customers every day.

DESCRIPTION

This role is focused on the hands-on, post-silicon validation and
characterization of critical analog and mixed-signal IP, such as PLLs, data
converters, and high-speed I/O interfaces. You will develop and execute detailed
test plans, automate lab measurements, and analyze data to ensure our circuits
meet stringent performance and quality standards. Your findings will directly
influence design improvements and contribute to the successful launch of Apple's
next-generation SoCs.
