Experienced SoC Digital Design Engineer; M, F, D

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new insights have a way of becoming phenomenal products very quickly. Do you want to bring passion and dedication to your job? There’s no telling what you could accomplish  people who work here have reinvented entire industries with all Apple Hardware products. The same real passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — we continue to strengthen our dedication to leave the world better than we found it.

By now, the industry is accustomed to Apple taping out the SoCs for our various products at a rigorous pace. To achieve this, our world-class design processes are driven by our outstanding Digital Design engineers. Are you ready to join some of the world’s leading engineers and help us deliver the next generation of ground-breaking Apple products? Join us!

As a SoC Digital Design Engineer, you will have responsibilities spanning all aspects of SoC design flow.

• You will:
• Work with the architecture team to develop the microarchitecture spec.
• Develop RTL for one or more blocks following established design guidelines based on microarchitecture spec.
• Work on sophisticated design practices (Clock/Reset/Voltage domain crossing, DFT, Low Power Design, power optimisation, and synthesis).
• Work closely with the verification team on block/top level to ensure timely delivery of quality designs.
• Work closely with the physical design team to optimize the design and meet design targets (area, timing, and power).

• You hold an MSEE.
• You should have proven experience in silicon design:
• Microarchitecture definitions at the unit level
• RTL coding, block-level simulations, and synthesis

• Experience with scripting and programming languages with some of the following:
  Python, Perl, C, C++, and TCL is an advantage.
• Familiar with the various backend tools (synthesis and STA) – an advantage.
• Familiar with verification methodologies – an advantage.

At Apple, we’re not all the same. And that’s our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we’ve experienced, and how we think. Because to create products that serve everyone, we believe in including everyone. Therefore, we are committed to treating all applicants fairly and equally. We will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations.
