Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? Do you thrive on pushing the limits of what's considered feasible? Join us and you will become part of a hands-on development team that champions engineering excellence, creativity and innovation! Multifaceted, inspiring people and innovative technologies are the norm here.

Apple's world-class design and integration processes are driven by our outstanding cellular integration engineers! A Team committed to leading the integration and development of a wide variety of designs within a chip and can coordinate with internal and external teams to micro-architect, design, verify, release, complete production synthesis, formal verification, and timing analysis on the project's scheduled delivery dates. This is a high-visibility and critical role requiring close working relationships with many other groups.

Key Qualifications

• This position requires detailed knowledge of the ASIC design flow; including FE, Design verification, synthesis, scripting and netlist generation. You bring demonstrated ability with at least 5 years of experience.
• You're experienced in high performance designs in high volume production for low power applications.
• You bring a consistent track record of RTL design and timing closure on large complex designs.
• Expertise in SOC IP integration and RTL Design for performance, low area, and low power.
• Expertise in FE production synthesis with DFT insertion.
• Expert knowledge of ASIC design flow and netlist flow checks - Lint, CDC, Logical Equivalence.
• Expert knowledge of UPF flow for defining power intent of chips with multiple power domains.
• Intimate knowledge of design interfacing to PD for ECO implementation, floorplanning and timing closure.
• Understanding of multi-clock designs, power management, reset and power sequencing.
• You're familiar with DFT and backend related methodology and tools is a plus.

Our team has ownership of all aspects of the development design for large SOC blocks including: Internal and/or external IP integration, design of associated infrastructure components including system bus and control bus logic for connectivity of IP blocks to main SOC infrastructure, DFT, Power and Security infrastructure.

We lead the Integration Spec for the IP and design project, integration and optimization of any memories and hard macros required for the block, run synthesis, netlist generation, and timing-closure for the block.

Ownership of chip-level blocks common to all IPs within the chip. These may include clock controller, power management controller, trace and debug, fuse control, general purpose IO control, among many others.

You'll collaborate closely with our chip architecture, design verification, methodology, physical design, DFT, and power teams to achieve the most efficient possible design.

You'll work on performance power and area analysis for your design and optimize for the best solution for the overall chip.

You will develop and maintain methodology and flows checks for your design.

Collaborate with our verification team to ensure appropriate validation and coverage goals are met.

You'll ensure security assumptions for the chip are accurately implemented within the block/s.

Collaboration with multi-disciplinary groups to make sure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality by incorporating accurate checks at every stage of the design process.

Education & Experience

BSEE is required. MSEE/Ph.D is preferred.
