We are the Electrical Simulation CAE Team in Hardware Engineering, and our primary objective is to develop and implement workflows and methodologies that ensure electrical and electromagnetic simulations are conducted with speed, efficiency, and precision. Through a comprehensive approach, the team guarantees that the hardware engineering teams have access to the most accurate and reliable simulation tools and data, empowering them to achieve excellence in electrical design and performance. Come join our team!
We are seeking a simulation engineer with a strong electrical background to create innovative end-to-end modeling and simulation solutions with cross-functional team members for simulation users across hardware engineering teams. These solutions provide early feedback to Apple product design and enable electrical simulation methodologies for current and future designs. Youll be responsible for validation, application support, and scale up of electrical simulation tools, solutions, and workflows. Additionally, we are looking for experience implementing AI/ML applications to support rapid design iterations for signal integrity, power integrity, EMI/EMC, magnetics, and electromagnetic simulations. This position focuses on workflows and automations for electrical and electromagnetic simulation in order to inform design decisions of new technologies and designs. We are looking for someone who always strives to learn something new, is a self-starter and can work independently with high levels of success, and is excited about solving new challenging electrical design problems with innovative solutions.Create electrical simulation workflows (SI/PI, EMI/EMC, Magnetics, electromagnetics) to enable designers and simulation engineers to run simulations with speed, efficiency, and precision. Partner with EDA and EM simulation tool vendors and internal development teams to deploy and scale workflows on internal platforms. Apply AI and ML techniques to electrical simulation workflows in order to enable early design exploration and rapid trade-off studies. Provide methods and tools to easily convert and analyze electrical model data, S-parameters, field solver outputs, and simulation results. Support internal electrical simulation tools across projects in application areas such as signal integrity, power integrity, RF, electromagnetics, antenna design, and desense, including developing training and documentation. Work together with cross-functional team members (EE, RF, SI/PI, antenna, and product design teams) to understand tool or workflow gaps and develop solutions to address them. Manage and support HPC job submission workflows to ensure simulations run efficiently at scale.Masters degree in Electrical Engineering. Experience in AI/ML theory and use of LLMs. 2+ years of hands on simulation workflow development experience. Good understanding of the electrical simulation workflow: schematic/layout/CAD >Simulation >Analysis. Experience with electrical and electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, SIwave, Q3D, Maxwell, CST Studio Suite, Keysight ADS, Cadence Clarity/Sigrity, or COMSOL.PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant field of study. Deep understanding of electromagnetics, magnetics, RF, and multi-physics simulations with an electrical emphasis. Knowledge of 3D electromagnetic modeling, full-wave solvers, and finite element analysis methods applied to electrical problems. Experience in the use of AI/ML techniques and LLMs. Familiarity with automation and workflow processes and scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB, TCL). Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills.
