Systems Software Developer (CAD Infrastructure)

Quick Facts

• Role: Systems Software Developer (CAD Infrastructure)

• Focus: Automated post-silicon infrastructure and end-to-end test program creation pipeline

Description

Architect, develop, and support post-silicon infrastructure systems that enable high-quality silicon test workflows, including an end-to-end pipeline from test pattern management to finished, production-ready test programs. You’ll help build data management and data processing services (e.g., for validation and signoff), monitor production flow health, and drive resolution of complex issues. Apply automation and AI-assisted tooling to reduce manual effort and improve reliability.

Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and support post-silicon infrastructure systems (e.g., EMA, Memory Failure Analysis, Silicon Validation, Test Patterns, eFuses)
• Help design and build the end-to-end test program creation pipeline with TE, from test pattern management to finished test programs
• Lead large-scale infrastructure projects from specification through development and deployment
• Build and maintain databases, services, and automated pipelines for data extraction, validation, and signoff
• Monitor production flow health and drive resolution of complex issues
• Apply automation and AI-assisted tooling to reduce manual effort and improve reliability
• Promote these systems across silicon design teams
• Set and advocate software engineering standards and mentor other engineers
• Write documentation and provide training for internal customers
• Engage with internal customers and cross-functional partners to improve workflows and systems

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related field
• Experience with Python, Perl, or C++
• Experience working in Linux/Unix environments

Benefits

Hands-on role partnering with post-silicon and test engineering teams to shape long-term architectures for how Apple tests chips.
