About The Position

Join Apple’s wireless silicon development team, which develops energy-efficient wireless silicon and technologies that transform the 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 work on a small team designing CPU-based subsystems for high-performance, low-power wireless SoCs. You will collaborate with SoC architects, IP developers, and software, firmware, and platform engineering teams to meet power, performance, and area goals, with a particular focus on low-power metrics. You will integrate industry-standard and custom hardware IP into SoCs and contribute to visible ASIC design efforts that support the launch of Apple products.

Requirements

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

Nice To Haves

• MSEE with some years of industry experience.

Responsibilities

• Write micro-architecture and design specifications.
• Code designs in SystemVerilog according to established design guidelines and own RTL development.
• Integrate IP blocks and optimize memories and hard macros required for the block.
• Support verification efforts at multiple levels.
• Check designs using industry-standard static tools such as LINT, CDC, and RDC.
• Analyze and optimize area, timing, and power.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary groups to deliver designs on time and with high quality, incorporating appropriate checks throughout the design process.
• Participate in hardware/software/power partitioning discussions with software, firmware, and platform engineering teams.
