About The Position

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather
to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people
once couldn’t have imagined, and now, can’t imagine living without. It’s the
diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs
through everything we do.

DESCRIPTION

APPLE INC has the following available in Austin, Texas. Run static timing
analysis (STA) tools on design. Identify changes in the design that affect the
timing of a chip. Create engineering change orders (ECOs) for fixing timing
issues in the design. Work with the physical design team to highlight issues and
best practices. Create and maintain scripts for runtime to ensure optimization
and efficient analysis of the design to highlight timing flaws in design.
Perform timing flow development to automate the STA flow so other teams can get
results with a push button. Document and help to create guidelines and
specifications for the timing of the product and integrate it at the top level.
Work with the design team to understand and debug timing constraints to ensure
accurate analysis of the design. 40 hours/week.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering or related field and 3 years of experience in the job offered or related occupation.
• Using Verilog to parse register-transfer level (RTL) or netlists and identifying timing connectivity issues and timing issues.
• Using industry-standard Static timing analysis (STA) tools, including PrimeTime SI or Tempus, to analyze the timing of the design.
• Writing Synopsys design constraints (SDC) based STA timing constraints to create guidelines and specifications.
• Working with logic optimization in the data path for complex blocks using industry standard or custom tools to meet timing, performance and power targets.
• Working with RTL design teams and implementation teams to assess feasibility and impact of new features on power, area and timing metrics.
• Using industry standard or custom tools, ensure design convergence and signoff of complex blocks in advanced timing nodes.
