Come join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SOC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development. With a particular 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 integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture, and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. If you enjoy a fast-paced and challenging environment and collaborating with people across different functional areas as well as thriving during crisis times, we encourage you to apply.
Description
Develop microarchitecture and RTL for a System-on-Chip (SoC) IP design, aligning with specified functional requirements. Engage in hardware/software partitioning discussions with software and firmware teams. Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure successful SoC integration, supporting design verification and validation across all phases—from concept to silicon bring-up. Work closely with physical design, DFT, and CAD teams to optimize performance, power, and area (PPA) targets while ensuring design quality and maintainability.
Minimum Qualifications
BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
Skilled in defining ASIC microarchitecture to meet functional requirements while managing performance, power, and area trade-offs.
Knowledgeable about the ASIC design flow, including System Verilog RTL implementation, Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis and STA.
Preferred Qualifications
Expertise in design domains such as memory subsystems, bus interfaces, CPU integration, DMA engines, Compression, Security IP design, and high-speed/low-speed peripherals like PCIE, QSPI, UART, and SPMI.
Thorough understanding of cross clock-domain design principles and associated CDC requirements.
Familiarity with ASIC low power design techniques, including multiple supply domains configuration, dynamic power/clock scaling, and power analysis.
Familiarity with ASIC test methodologies, encompassing DFT, scan insertion, memory BIST, and other related techniques.
Strong communication skills, both written and oral.
Responsibilities
Define microarchitecture working alongside architecture, software and firmware teams.
Implement RTL that adheres to PPA requirements and Lint, CDC and RDC checks.
Collaborate with Verification, DFT, Power, Physical design teams to delivery fully functional IP for SoC integration.
Provide support for pre-silicon verification and software/firmware development.
Assist in post-silicon validation, system integration and debugging effort.
