Design Verification

Apple•Cupertino, CA

23h•$174,149 - $225,300•Onsite

About The Position

Design and architect specifications and work closely with design & micro-architecture teams. Understand the functional & performance goals of the design. Develop test plans, tests & coverage plans as well as define our next generation verification methodology & test benches. Communicate and collaborate with design, architecture and software teams to understand the use cases and corner conditions and drive test cases. Ensure the quality of the SoC, IP, and/or subsystem by working on one or more types of IP such as Neural Engine hardware, DRAM subsystems, memory controller logic, Encode and Decode systems for ProRes and other codec formats (such as VP9 and AV1), hardware security including cryptographic algorithm implementations), high-speed IO standards (such as PCI Express, DisplayPort, MIPI), power management and fabric infrastructure, memory cache management, and display subsystems for variety of panels and products.
