Silicon Validation Engineer.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for lab characterization and validation of Apple custom silicon devices. You’ll help ensure that silicon and system power delivery meet Apple’s high quality standards before integration into industry-leading products.

You’ll develop and execute electrical validation plans for Apple SoCs, including power delivery network analysis, functional and scan workload testing, and debugging on silicon validation hardware. You’ll work closely with engineers across silicon design, Design for Test (DFT), hardware, firmware, and software teams to investigate issues and communicate validation findings.

This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer who enjoys hands-on hardware work, system-level debugging, and learning how complex SoCs are characterized and validated.

Description

You will be part of the Silicon Validation Hardware team, characterizing complex interactions between Apple custom silicon and validation platforms.
