Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product! Apple’s Silicon Validation team drives validation, characterization and debug of Apple products. Our team consists of very talented engineers who have vast knowledge on both SW and SoC validation. We are searching for an engineer with a background in Design For Debug (DFD) to develop our rapidly evolving silicon debug tools and flows. In this unique position, you will utilize your knowledge and skills to build and support debug tools that will serve Apple’s entire products spectrum.

Description

As a debug tools hardware engineer you will be building silicon debug tools focused on physical data extraction, collation, visualization and analysis. You will be well familiar with the SoC functionality, as well as the DFD architecture, tools and methodologies. You will devlop flows which configure and utilize the DFD HW features to extract the internal states of the SoC in various debug scenarios. You will work with SW developers to present and visulaize the debug data in a human friendly format which allow debuggers understand the internal state of the SoC. You will participate in silicon debug tasks. Tools you develop and support will directly contribute to rapid targeted debug and triage.
