TL;DR · SRAM Circuit Design Engineer

Join Apple's Digital Custom Group as an SRAM Circuit Design Engineer, where you will collaborate closely with logic/architecture teams to design custom digital circuits for high-performance SRAM in cutting-edge products like the M1 chip and A14 Bionic. Your daily tasks include defining architecture that optimizes power, timing, area, and yield, performing schematic capture and simulations, and working with layout teams to ensure optimal GDS creation. You will also write RTL code, validate use cases, and support post-silicon efforts for productization. Ideal candidates have extensive experience in SoC design cycles, low-power SRAM/Register File development, and a solid understanding of nanometer device physics and industry-standard tools. Knowledge of machine learning algorithms is beneficial as you contribute to the rapid delivery of innovative silicon solutions at Apple.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM in high-performance products.
  • Define architecture optimizing power, timing, area, and yield for SRAM designs.
  • Capture schematics and perform simulations to ensure design margins are met.
  • Collaborate with layout team to create optimal GDS files for SRAM implementation.
  • Verify extracted GDS meets initial design specifications and performance criteria.
  • Support post-silicon efforts to enable productization of custom silicon solutions.

What we're looking for

  • At least 10 years of relevant industry experience in SRAM circuit design.
  • Expertise in designing low-power, high-performance SRAM/Register File circuits.
  • Proficiency in RTL modeling and understanding of cache architecture.
  • Strong knowledge of industry-standard design tools and nanometer device physics.
  • Ability to devise experiments for silicon debug and analyze data effectively.
  • Experience working within a SoC design cycle and supporting post-silicon efforts.
