About The Position

Come join Apple’s wireless silicon development effort, with its emphasis on
highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user
experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class
vertically coordinated engineering team.

DESCRIPTION

Develop MAC layer design for wireless communication SoCs, including creating
microarchitecture and other documents based on system-level requirements, and
writing area- and power-efficient RTL that is scalable. Work with systems and
software teams to ensure performance and power efficiency. Collaborate with
verification and emulation teams on debug, test plan review and code coverage
closure. Run tools to ensure lint and CDC/RDC clean design. Work with synthesis
team to review constraints, close timing and review area/timing reports.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
• Digital logic design fundamentals
• Demonstrated experience in translating functional requirements into synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL
• Knowledge of digital design flows such as RTL simulation and debug, synthesis, lint, STA, and LEC
• Ability to design multi-clock-domain logic and resolve CDC problems

Nice To Haves

• 10+ years of experience in ASIC microarchitecture and RTL design
• Excellent organization skills
• Excellent communication skills – both written and oral
• Understanding wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, Bluetooth or 3GPP
• Understanding of ASIC low power design techniques, e.g. multiple supply domains configuration and management, dynamic power/clock scaling and power analysis is a plus
