About The Position

Join Apple’s System-Level Test Product Development Engineering (SLT-PDE) team to design and deploy test solutions for next-generation SoCs and semiconductor devices. The role focuses on creating, deploying, and continuously improving system-level test methodologies for advanced silicon devices, from early development and bring-up through mass production. It combines hardware, software, AI/ML automation, and high-volume manufacturing, including the use of AI-assisted workflows and agentic LLM workflows in production debug to turn factory and bring-up data into engineering insight. The position collaborates with teams across hardware, firmware, software, product engineering, quality assurance, product management, test engineering, and factory operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.
• Solid understanding of SoC fundamentals, including CPU/GPU pipelines, interconnects, memory hierarchy, cache coherency, boot flow, and power/clock domains.
• Strong Python skills and proficiency in at least one high-level language such as C++ or C#.
• Ability to write production-quality code and build automation used by other engineers.
• Ability to diagnose root causes across hardware/software boundaries.
• Clear communication and effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, firmware interaction, or system-level validation.
• Master’s or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.

Responsibilities

• Develop System Level Test (SLT) test programs for Apple SoCs from new product introduction (NPI) through high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
• Lead overall deployment of SLT at outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) sites, working with GSM and Test Engineering teams.
• Collaborate with Apple internal Test, Product Engineering, QA, Product Management, and software engineering teams.
• Bring up new silicon during early development and ensure robust, scalable test solutions as products move into mass production.
• Create, deploy, and continuously improve system-level test methodologies for advanced silicon devices.
