Software Engineer- Silicon Engineering Documentation Tools

Apple’s Silicon Engineering Group (SEG) is seeking a talented and motivated SoftwareEngineer to join the Documentation Tools team. Our team develops a comprehensive platform, spanning CLIs, UIs, and APIs, that empowers silicon engineers to author the critical technical specifications guiding the design of Apple's industry-leading chips. In this role, you will help build, optimize, and scale the tools that directly impact the efficiency and quality of our chip design process. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career engineer or recent graduate to grow their skills. You will be paired with senior mentors and have the opportunity to learn complex system architecture while making a tangible impact on the chips at the core of future Apple products loved by millions of customers.

Description

Design and develop: collaborate to build and maintain scalable CLIs, UIs, and APIs that streamline and automate the creation, review, and verification of hardware specifications. Optimize performance: assist in diagnosing and troubleshooting performance bottlenecks, learning to navigate and optimize a complex, JVM-based toolchain to ensure a seamless experience for our engineering teams. Collaborate and support: partner with the documentation support team to deliver toolchain training, technical guidance, and best practices directly to silicon designers. Document: author clear, comprehensive documentation for platform architecture, toolchain workflows, and internal processes. Innovate: bring fresh perspectives and a curious mindset to help identify and implement process and codebase improvements alongside senior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• Foundational understanding of domain modeling, schema design, and complex data structures.
• Familiarity with designing schemas and working with PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
• Exposure to or familiarity with build systems (SBT, Gradle, Maven, or Ant) and version control systems (Git, Perforce).
• Understanding of the core concepts of software test environments, release cycles, and quality assurance best practices.
• Knowledge of these is a plus: familiarity with automated CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, TeamCity).
• Comfortable working and troubleshooting within macOS, Linux, and UNIX environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Academic, internship, or project-based experience with Scala and the JVM ecosystem (Java experience is also valued).
