About The Position

Apple's silicon is the foundation of every product we make. In this role, you will help us find and fix system-level issues months before silicon arrives. During the SoC concept phase, you will identify what can be validated in simulation, emulation, and FPGA platforms, and drive those opportunities from idea to execution. You will partner closely with SoC, software, and hardware systems teams to shift validation earlier and make sure we are ready on day one of silicon bring-up.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant experience.
• Hands-on experience in SoC or embedded system hardware/software design, integration, or validation.
• Working knowledge of how silicon, firmware, and software interact at the system level.

Nice To Haves

• Experience validating consumer electronics products or platforms at the system level.
• Familiarity with pre-silicon methods such as virtual platforms, emulation, FPGA prototyping, or simulation.
• Technical program management or cross-functional leadership experience in a validation or hardware development environment.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority.
• Creative and analytical problem solving, with a proactive approach to resolving issues.
• Ability to filter and tailor information to the right audience.

Responsibilities
