Wireless SoC Design Engineer

Come and join Apple's growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SoC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development, emphasizing highly energy‑efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level. All of this 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, collaborate with people across different functional areas, and thrive during crisis times, we encourage you to apply.

In this role you will work on a small team designing CPU‑based subsystems for high performance, low power wireless SoCs. As a member of the team, you will work closely with SoC architects and IP developers to develop SoCs that meet the power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices, with a particular focus on low power metrics. You will engage in hardware/software/power partitioning discussions alongside software, firmware, and platform engineering teams.

You will integrate industry standard and custom hardware IPs into SoCs. This is a highly visible role, where you will be at the center of the ASIC design efforts, collaborating with all fields, with a critical impact in getting leading‑edge products launched to delight millions of customers.

• Writing micro‑architecture and design specifications.
• Coding design in System Verilog following established design guidelines, owning all aspects of RTL development design.
• Integrate IP blocks and optimize memories/hard macros required for the block.
• Supporting verification efforts at multiple levels.
• Checking your design with industry standard static tools such as LINT, CDC, RDC.
• Analyzing and optimizing area, timing, and power.
• Collaborate with multi‑disciplinary groups to make sure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality by incorporating proper checks at every stage of the design process.

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

• Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree.
• Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
• Knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages like Verilog.

At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. The base pay range for this role is between $122,700 and $214,300, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
