Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly sophisticated challenges? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you'll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You'll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple's devices. Together, we will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices! Joining Apple as an Embedded Software Engineer for SoC Factory Support, you will craft and implement embedded software for System on a Chip (SoC) bring up and test. You will write software for Apple silicon in a production boot loader environment. You will work closely with the Product Engineering teams to bring up new silicon on device and ensure the SoC quality when manufactured.- Design and implementation of firmware for SoC bring up, validation, and test. * Identify, analyze and root-cause SoC failures in the factory. * Enhance and maintain the development and debug environments, tools and methodologies. * Support of functional test environment for device characterization, failure analysis, and mass production. * Generate post-silicon directed diagnostic and stress test cases and debugging failure cases using multiple HW and low level SW platforms. * Use of soft skills and data driven approach to effectively collaborate and participate in multi-team discussions and decision-making.Embedded software experience, including debugging and characterization Experience on SoC silicon bring up/power up Experience with problem solving and delivery of high volume and high quality SW Strong embedded C programmer is preferred. Scripting experience with one or more of Python, Perl Experience debugging boot loader is a plus. Experience using laboratory equipment (e.g., logic analyzer, digital oscilloscope) is a plus.Array
