About The Position

Join Apple’s wireless silicon development team, which develops energy-efficient wireless silicon and technologies that transform the product user experience. The organization spans RF/analog, systems/PHY/MAC, VLSI/RTL, emulation, design verification, test and validation, and firmware/software engineering.

In this role, you will verify RF and mixed-signal blocks and their interfaces within a wireless SoC. You will work with analog/RF design, digital design verification, digital design, and wireless systems teams to develop verification methodologies that ensure correct silicon functionality while balancing coverage and time to tapeout.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree.
• At least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Industry verification experience with RF/mixed-signal blocks and SoCs.
• Expertise building mixed-signal testbenches, checkers, and tests using SystemVerilog.
• Experience with UVM methodology and HDL, including SystemVerilog and Verilog, for verification.
• Strong problem-solving, testing, and debugging skills.
• Understanding of common analog/RF blocks.
• Experience with UPF, Python, or Matlab.
• Experience with Virtuoso Composer, ADE, and HED.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s or PhD degree in a technical discipline, with at least 5 years of hands-on experience specifically in mixed-signal verification.
• Wireless experience.
• Expertise creating and using real-numbered analog behavioral models in SystemVerilog.
• Ability to work well in a team and be productive under an aggressive schedule.
• Excellent communication skills, self-motivation, organization, and willingness to take on diverse challenges.

Responsibilities

• Verify RF and mixed-signal blocks and their interfaces within the wireless SoC.
• Work with analog/RF design, digital design verification, digital design, and wireless systems teams.
• Develop verification methodologies that ensure silicon-correct functionality and optimize coverage and time-to-tapeout trade-offs.
