About The Position

As a Custom Circuits Design Verification Engineer, you will work with the digital custom circuits team to ensure that pre-silicon deliveries of custom IPs for Apple SoCs are bug-free. You will review design and architecture specifications, understand use cases and corner conditions, and translate specifications into test benches with stimulus, checkers, assertions, trackers, and coverage. You will collaborate with custom circuit designers and RTL designers to understand design functionality and performance goals. The role also includes running and triaging regressions, tracking bugs, and analyzing coverage to achieve high-quality results. You will collaborate across teams and contribute to delivering bug-free functional products to market.
