TL;DR · Wireless SoC Design Engineer

The Wireless SoC Design Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to design CPU-based subsystems for high-performance, low-power wireless SoCs. Working closely with SoC architects and IP developers, the engineer develops SoCs that meet specific power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices. Key responsibilities include writing micro-architecture and design specifications, coding RTL in SystemVerilog, and integrating industry-standard and custom hardware IPs. The role involves optimizing memories and hard macros, supporting multi-level verification, and utilizing static tools for LINT, CDC, and RDC checks. Candidates must possess knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages like Verilog. The position focuses on hardware/software/power partitioning and low-power design techniques, specifically addressing the technical challenges of developing energy-efficient wireless silicon for leading-edge products.

What you'll do

  • Write micro-architecture and design specifications for CPU-based subsystems.
  • Code RTL designs in SystemVerilog following established design guidelines.
  • Integrate hardware IP blocks and optimize memories and hard macros.
  • Support verification efforts at multiple levels of the design process.
  • Perform design checks using industry standard static tools like LINT, CDC, and RDC.
  • Analyze and optimize area, timing, and power metrics for wireless SoCs.
  • Participate in hardware, software, and power partitioning discussions with engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
  • Knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages like Verilog.
  • MSEE with some years of industry experience (preferred).
  • Experience writing micro-architecture specifications and converting them to design (preferred).
  • Exposure to design methodologies and industry standard EDA tools (preferred).
  • Experience with AXI/AHB bus fabric and processor sub-systems (preferred).
  • Understanding of UPF and low-power design & implementation techniques (preferred).
