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 system-on-chip (SoC) devices. The role develops system-level test programs for debugging, characterization, qualification, and production. It includes performing measurements that directly affect SoC power and performance across next-generation products, and collaborating with design, validation, test, manufacturing, system test, and software teams to identify issues and implement corrective actions.

The engineer works with ATE and software teams to identify and develop case tests and benchmarks for production testing and characterization. They characterize test setups, correlate results to ATE, optimize production-screening guardbands for individual systems, define characterization plans, analyze statistical data, lead cross-functional correlation and data reviews, and sign off on silicon characterization activities. The role also involves managing multiple programs at different stages and serving as a central contact for multiple teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree.
• 10 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 and 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 with Python, JMP, PERL, or similar tools.

Responsibilities

• Develop system-level test programs for debugging, characterization, qualification, and production of SoC devices.
