SoC Physical Design Engineer, Power Grid

Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you’ll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple’s devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices. In this highly visible role, we work within a team environment responsible for completing partition place and route from netlist to tapeout including automation tasks for Apple SoC! - Experience with automation for Physical Design, for block execution and experience in automation using tcl and/or python. - Work multi-functionally with CAD/Physical Verification/Electrical analysis and PnR Teams to ensure strong and drc clean power grid. - Develop features and methodology solutions to be used by wide range of SOC partitions. - Collaborate with technology teams for node evaluations, global PD engineers, and physical verification and electrical analysis teams. - Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution. - Work with the cross functional teams to drive methodologies and “best known methods” to streamline physical design work. Come up with guidelines and checklists, drive flow development and deployment.
