About The Position

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

As a member of a small team, you will design CPU-based subsystems for high-performance, low-power wireless SoCs. You will work with SoC architects and IP developers to meet power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices, with a particular focus on low-power metrics. The role includes hardware/software/power partitioning discussions with software, firmware, and platform engineering teams, and integration of industry-standard and custom hardware IPs into SoCs. You will collaborate across disciplines and contribute to ASIC design efforts and the launch of leading-edge products.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree with 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
• Knowledge of digital design and SoC architecture.
• Knowledge of HDL languages such as Verilog.

Nice To Haves

• 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.
