TL;DR · Circuits Implementation Engineer

Join Apple’s Digital Custom Group as an Implementation Engineer where you will play a pivotal role in defining power-performance-area (PPA) targets for next-generation system-on-chips (SoCs). Collaborating closely with the SRAM and custom circuit team, your responsibilities include conducting design analysis to establish PPA trends, formulating detailed specifications, and tracking development progress across various stages. You’ll work on high-impact projects like Apple’s M2 and A16 Bionic chips, requiring expertise in layout/simulations, project management, and a deep understanding of nanometer device physics. Proficiency in industry-standard design tools and knowledge of cache architecture are essential, with experience in custom circuit design methodology and machine learning algorithms being highly valued.

What you'll do

  • Define PPA targets for current and future tech nodes in circuit design.
  • Formulate design specifications for SRAM and custom circuits with the team.
  • Conduct layout/simulations to establish PPA trends throughout the design cycle.
  • Finalize lists of SRAMs and custom designs required for next SOCs/products.
  • Track development schedules, spec closures, PPA, and quality for SRAMs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define specifications and provide solutions.

What we're looking for

  • At least 2 years of relevant experience in SoC design cycle.
  • Expertise in custom circuit and SRAM/Register File development for low power/high performance.
  • Proficient in custom circuit design methodology and project management.
  • Strong knowledge of cache design/architecture and memory hierarchy.
  • Deep understanding of nanometer device physics and leakage mechanisms.
  • Experience with industry-standard design tools and scripting languages.
