Debug Tools SoC Design Engineer

Apple's SOC Silicon Validation Services team is looking for a skilled and curious engineer to help shape the tools that power silicon debug across Apple. We're a close-knit, cross-disciplinary team with deep expertise spanning hardware, software, infrastructure, and operations — and we're looking for someone who thrives at that intersection. You'll join a small, tightly integrated team where your contributions have real reach: the tools we build are used by hundreds of engineers across Apple's cross-functional silicon debug community. You'll collaborate on a well-established, evolving ecosystem and be challenged to bring a new perspective and opportunities to the table. Description Design, build, and enhance silicon debug tools spanning automated feature extraction, data collation, visualization, and analysis Drive rapid, targeted debug and triage workflows for engineers across the silicon pipeline Contribute to both frontend, backend, and design specific development within a professional engineering environment Explore and implement shift-left strategies to surface issues earlier in the silicon development cycle Actively leverage AI — both for productivity and in tool capabilities — to accelerate debug and triage intelligence Identify new development opportunities and bring your own ideas into the roadmap Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience. Preferred Qualifications Experience with SoC architecture and micro-architectureProven ability to drive silicon tool development from concept to deliveryStrong full-stack development instincts: comfortable across frontend, backend, and data layersHands-on experience with C, Python, and SystemVerilogExperience applying AI/ML in real engineering workflowsStrong problem-solving skills and comfort operating across hardware and software boundariesCollaborative by natureExperience with DFX (Design for Test/Debug/Manufacturability)Experience with databases and data pipeline design, including ETL/ELT concepts #J-18808-Ljbffr Socket.dev
