Description

Apple Silicon Engineering Group is looking for a forward-thinking and unusually creative software engineering intern to help build the next generation of AI-driven hardware modeling. Before circuits become silicon, they exist as software. Our AMS Modeling Software team builds fast, accurate models of analog and mixed-signal circuits that drive the architecture, design and verification of Apple's world-leading systems-on-chip (SoCs). We combine software engineering, machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to automate model creation, speed up simulation and scale validation.

Responsibilities

You will build the tools and AI-powered workflows that make this possible, and help shape the future of semiconductor design. Design and develop production-quality software (Python and/or C++) for modeling analog and mixed-signal circuits such as SerDes, PLLs, memory interfaces and data converters. You will work with AI coding agents while owning design decisions, code quality and the correctness of the final code. Build machine learning surrogate models and the data pipelines behind them, trained on circuit simulation and silicon measurement data, so that system-level simulation is fast and accurate Develop LLM-powered and agent-based workflows that automate the modeling process, from generating models out of specifications to code translation, test generation and documentation generation. Build automated frameworks that check model accuracy against circuit-level (SPICE) simulations and silicon measurements, and speed up models through GPU acceleration, parallel execution and model order reduction Work closely with system architects, circuit designers and verification engineers to turn specifications and design intent into software and ML solutions, and write clear documentation covering usage, accuracy bounds and limitations
