TL;DR

Apple's Imaging and Sensing Incubation team is seeking an experienced FPGA Design Engineer to join their dynamic hardware development efforts. This senior-level role involves collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including system architecture, electrical engineering, algorithms, software, and product management to define requirements and execute projects for future Apple products. The engineer will be responsible for developing FPGA-based platforms from concept through hardware bring-up, contributing to micro-architecture design, coding RTL in Verilog or System Verilog, and integrating IPs while ensuring timing closure and verification. Key responsibilities include creating test benches, debugging designs, and documenting architecture for technical communication. The ideal candidate should have expertise with FPGA design tools like Vivado and Lattice Radiant, proficiency in HDL languages, and experience with various communication protocols and lab equipment. Additionally, familiarity with image/signal processing implementation and AI-assisted coding is preferred, as the role requires a deep understanding of system-level impacts and strong cross-team collaboration skills.
