Role Details

As an FPGA Prototyping Design Engineer, you will work in a team developing Wireless SoCs with custom hardware accelerators, as well as multiple ARM-based sub-systems. You will integrate industry standard and custom hardware IP into SoCs. You will work closely with SoC architects, IP developers to develop SoCs that meets the power, performance and area goals for Apple devices. You will help define the processes, methods and tools for design and implementation of large complex SoCs. You will develop and maintain methodology and flows checks for your design. Interact 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. Maintain common design platform for FPGA, with considerations for memories, I/O Pads, gated clocks and complex generated clocks. Design and verification of FPGA components using Verilog/System Verilog. Perform FPGA Partitioning, Synthesis, Place & Route, timing optimizations. Perform bring-up, debug, and validation of designs to achieve functional and performance goals. Create and execute plans to bring-up, debug, and validate designs. Thoroughly document and support each of above steps. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define prototype hardware to evaluate new technologies and features. Bachelors degree in EE,CE, or related field. Design/verification using Verilog/SystemVerilog. Good understanding on CDC and FPGA timing constraint. Exposure to Linux environment. Proven experience with bring up, debugging and verification on Xilinx FPGA. Good understanding on I2C/SPI/UART. Experience debugging with ILA. Experience in designing using Vivado IP integrator. Experience with high-speed SERDES or PCIe. Experience in FPGA development for wireless applications. Understanding of wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth. Experience with single or multi-FPGA platforms (Synopsys HAPS experience). Experience writing 'make' based build system. Programming skill in Python, Tcl with AI assisted coding experience. Experience with Git/Perforce/TeamCity. FW development/debugging experience with ARM processor is a plus.
