Person A480C6

• Interviewed on 2022-09-08
• Currently works at Apple, Apple Silicon Team
• Studied Electrical Engineering in school
  • Took a lot of science classes
  • MS in Chips
• Works as an SoC Engineer
  • Joined the M1 team just before the announcement
  • Worked on the A16 chip this year (2022)
• Apple Silicon Team isn't necessarily a hardware team
  • Ex: Chip Design Inspection Software
• DRI. Direct Response Individual.
  • People can take responsibility, regardless of their level and position.
• One downside: Apple is a very secretive company.
  • Every permission is on a need-to-know basis.
  • Siloed Culture.
  • However, communications are very active across the team.
• If I leave Apple
  • I would search for a smaller team for more flexibility.
• It would've been better to have more constructive undergrad vacations.
• Engineers are like knives; you should keep working to keep yourself sharp.

💙I love my job because...

Working at the biggest, most hyped company is a huge plus, especially when they have a huge event. Apple also has a sound responsibility system — e.g., DRI.
