About The Position

Join Apple’s wireless silicon development team, which develops wireless silicon with an emphasis on energy-efficient design and technologies that transform product experiences. The organization brings together teams spanning RF/analog, systems/PHY/MAC, VLSI/RTL, emulation, design verification, test and validation, and firmware/software engineering.

In this role, you will work on a small team designing CPU-based subsystems for high-performance, low-power wireless SoCs. You will collaborate with SoC architects and IP developers to meet power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices, with particular focus on low-power metrics. You will participate in hardware/software/power partitioning discussions with software, firmware, and platform engineering teams, and integrate industry-standard and custom hardware IPs into SoCs. This visible role is central to ASIC design efforts and contributes to launching products.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree.
• Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
• Knowledge of digital design and SoC architecture.
• Knowledge of HDL languages such as Verilog.

Nice To Haves

• MSEE with some years of industry experience.
• Experience writing micro-architecture specifications and converting them into designs.
• Exposure to design methodologies and industry-standard EDA tools.
• Experience with AXI/AHB bus fabric and processor subsystems.
• Understanding of UPF and low-power design and implementation techniques.
• Self-starter with a willingness to learn.

Responsibilities

• Design CPU-based subsystems for high-performance, low-power wireless SoCs.
• Work with SoC architects and IP developers to meet power, performance, and area goals, particularly low-power goals.
• Participate in hardware/software/power partitioning discussions with software, firmware, and platform engineering teams.
• Integrate industry-standard and custom hardware IPs into SoCs.
• Collaborate across functional areas on ASIC design efforts.
