About the role

Engineer focused on developing and validating PCB material modeling methodologies and improving simulation-to-measurement correlation to support design decisions across Apple’s hardware teams. Builds and validates material models under environmental conditions, expands methodology coverage across multiple EM tools, and applies AI/ML techniques to EM simulation methodologies.

Responsibilities

  • Working closely with product teams, you’ll develop, validate, and refine simulation methodologies which enable correlation with measurements.
  • Developing and validating methodologies is core to this role — you’ll generate PCB material models across user-defined environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity permutations.
  • Through workshops, office hours, and direct collaboration, you’ll support product teams in adopting improved correlation methodologies.
  • Expanding correlation methodology coverage across multiple EM simulation tools — including HFSS 3D Layout, CST, ADS, and Clarity — will be a key part of your impact.
  • You’ll apply AI and ML techniques to EM Simulation Methodologies.
  • Your work will contribute to formal PCB material validation processes that support sign-off for new material families and maintain the integrity of the PCB material database.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a relevant field of study.
  • 3+ years of related work and relevant academic experience.
  • Hands-on experience with EM simulation vendor tools — such as HFSS or similar
  • Expertise in AI/ML methodologies — such as DNN, PINN, or gradient boosting
  • Good understanding of Electromagnetics.
  • Experience with scripting languages.
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering or a relevant field.
  • A deep understanding of PCB material characterization methods and material property modeling across environmental conditions is part of your expertise.
  • Experience with VNA-based S-parameter measurement, TRL/TDR calibration, and de-embedding workflows.
  • Strong understanding of simulation-to-measurement correlation workflows, including de-embedding techniques.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and organizational skills to collaborate effectively across teams.
