The CPU ML Microarchitect/RTL Engineer joins the Silicon Engineering Group to drive CPU machine-learning accelerator architecture and RTL development for Apple Silicon. This role involves micro-architecture development and specification, ranging from high-level exploration to detailed specifications. The engineer will own RTL design tasks including development, assessment, and refinement to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals. Responsibilities also include supporting verification through test bench development, formal methods, and simulation or emulation, alongside performing performance exploration and correlation. Required skills include microprocessor architecture knowledge, logic design principles with timing and power implications, Verilog or VHDL, and experience with simulators and waveform debugging. Preferred qualifications include expertise in out-of-order execution, instruction scheduling, cache subsystems, low power techniques, C/C++ programming, and scripting in Perl or Python to solve complex hardware challenges for high-performance microprocessors.
Develop and specify micro-architecture from high-level exploration through detailed technical specifications.
Own the development, assessment, and refinement of RTL designs to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals.
Support verification teams with test bench development, formal methods, and simulation or emulation for functional verification.
Explore high-performance strategies and correlate results with the performance verification team to ensure design targets are met.
Collaborate with multi-functional teams to implement physical designs focusing on timing, area, reliability, testability, and power.
Drive CPU machine-learning accelerator architecture and RTL development for Apple Silicon products.
What we're looking for
Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
Experience with microprocessor architecture.
Experience with logic design principles involving timing and power implications.
Experience in Verilog or VHDL.
Experience with simulators and the waveform debugging process.
Expertise in out-of-order execution, instruction scheduling, integer/floating point execution, load/store execution, or cache and memory subsystems (preferred).
Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques and high-performance trade-offs (preferred).
Experience in C, C++, Perl, or Python (preferred).
