Role Number: 200121324

Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? Do you thrive on pushing the limits of what's considered feasible? As part of our team, you will be responsible for and contribute to verifying high-throughput, complex cellular baseband modems: crafting highly reusable premier UVM test benches; implementing effective coverage driven and directed test cases working with cross functional teams; deploying new tools and methodologies to improve quality of tape-out readiness. By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple, you'll push the industry boundaries of what cellular systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world. Do you want to have an impact on every single Apple product?

As a Design Verification Engineer in this team, you are at the center of the verification effort within a silicon design group responsible for designing and productizing state-of-the-art cellular baseband modems targeted for SOCs. You are responsible for high quality verification of different levels of designs within baseband modems by working closely with cross-functional teams. You are expected to adapt to evolving requirements and do detailed test planning, and develop re-usable verification environments to achieve quality goals
