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. This role involves working closely with SoC architects and IP developers to meet specific power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices. Key responsibilities include writing micro-architecture and design specifications, coding RTL in SystemVerilog, integrating hardware IPs, and optimizing memories and hard macros. The engineer must analyze area, timing, and power while utilizing industry standard static tools like LINT, CDC, and RDC. Required skills include knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, Verilog, and AXI/AHB bus fabric. The work focuses on hardware/software/power partitioning and low-power design techniques using UPF to deliver 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 required 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

  • BS degree with 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Familiarity with the ASIC design flow.
  • Knowledge of digital design, SoC architecture, and HDL languages like Verilog.
  • 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).
  • Self-starter and willingness to learn (preferred).
