SoC Correlation Product Engineer

Apple • San Diego, CA

6h

About The Position

As part of Apple’s Silicon Technologies group, the SoC Correlation Product Engineer helps develop and manufacture next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processors and systems-on-chip. The role develops system-level test programs for debugging, characterization, qualification, and production of SoC devices. The engineer performs measurements that affect SoC power and performance across next-generation products, and collaborates with design, validation, test, manufacturing, system test, and software teams to identify issues and implement corrective actions.

The position works closely with ATE and software teams to develop case tests and benchmarks for production testing and characterization. It also involves characterizing test setups, correlating results to ATE, optimizing production-screening guardbands for each system, defining characterization plans, analyzing statistical data, leading cross-functional data and correlation reviews, and signing off on silicon characterization activities. The engineer manages multiple programs at different stages and serves as a central point of contact for multiple teams, with direct impact on the product.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and 3 years of experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with system-level characterization using functional or virus-like worst-case use cases and correlating results to ATE.
• Understanding of PDN impact on Vmin, ATE test content, system-level test programs or functional content, and test hardware.
• Experience working with and driving cross-functional teams.
• Experience with statistical data analysis tools for high-volume characterization and production data analysis.
• Scripting experience, such as Python, JMP, or Perl.
