RTL Design Engineer

Overview

Summary:

At Apple, we work every day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. If you’re passionate about taking on unsolved challenges, we have a great opportunity for a results-oriented and highly motivated RTL Design Engineer. This role will build upon a solid foundation in digital logic circuits while introducing mixed-signal and analog circuit design and features. You will work with flows fundamental to modern silicon engineering: modeling and integrating high-performance mixed-signal and analog IPs into high-speed digital circuits, ensuring formal equivalence between custom designs and their abstract representations.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in software methods and analysis, which are increasingly crucial across the semiconductor industry. As a member of our dynamic team, you will help create the next generation of products that will delight and inspire millions of Apple customers every day. You will work to specify, design, verify, and support lab bring-up of sophisticated digital and mixed-signal circuits.

• Specify and/or micro-architect digital blocks in sophisticated mixed-signal circuits.
• RTL coding of blocks specified by you or others.
• Participate in design verification and bring-up of blocks by writing meaningful assertions, debugging code, and collaborating with the design verification team.
• Contribute to lab bring-up of circuits by potentially writing test scripts, analyzing lab data, and proposing experiments.

• Proven knowledge of RTL design, Verilog and System Verilog.
• Deep knowledge of front-end tools (Verilog simulators, linters, clock-domain crossing checkers).
• Strong communication and presentation skills.
• Proven understanding of mixed-signal concepts is a plus.
• Proven knowledge of synthesis, static timing and DFT is a plus.
• Proven knowledge of System Verilog assertions, checkers, and other design verification techniques is a plus.
• Knowledge of scripting languages;
  Perl and Python are a plus.
