Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Dynamic, intelligent people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with all Apple Hardware products. The same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. Do you want to join us in these pursuits? Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product! In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a chip design effort collaborating with all disciplines, with a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers quickly. We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification Engineer to join our silicon engineering team focused on the auxiliary features of a high-performance ARM-based CPU. These features include Power Management, Clock Control, Debug Infrastructure, Resets, and Special-Purpose Registers-spanning both ARM-standard capabilities and Apple-specific innovations.

  • Work across the entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon test planning to supporting post-silicon bring-up and debug when needed.
  • Collaborate with architecture and RTL designers on verifying the functionality correctness of CPU Power Management, clock control, and debug logic.
  • Develop and execute test plans and schedules.
  • Write and debug tests in Assembly, SystemVerilog, SVA, C++, and scripting languages to validate functionality in simulation, emulation, and FPGA environments.
  • Build and maintain verification infrastructure, including checkers, transactors, and coverage monitors.
  • Analyze functional coverage to ensure test plan completeness.
  • Identify, root-cause, and document design issues and collaborate with RTL teams to drive fixes.
  • Support SoC-level debug for clock and power integration issues.
  • Work with silicon bring-up teams to develop tests and debug issues across emulation, FPGA, and silicon.
  • Contribute to post-silicon debug, using waveform and trace tools to diagnose complex system issues.
  • Experience in processor or power management architecture and verification.
  • Experience with system fabric protocols such as AXI.
  • In-depth knowledge in design verification environments like random constraint verification and/or UVM base testbenches.
  • Experience in system Verilog assertions or silicon bringup or UPF and low power simulation.
  • Experience in processor debug features including hardware trace is a plus.
  • Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal verification is a plus.
  • Advanced programming skills such as object-oriented programming or CPU assembly language is a plus.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex design issues during verification effort.
  • Ability to create and follow detailed work schedules and work independently on the verification efforts for a block/area of the design.
  • Experience in processor debug features including hardware trace.
  • Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal verification.
  • Advanced programming skills such as object-oriented programming or CPU assembly language.
