Role Number:200558448
At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a ground-breaking and uncommonly dedicated Physical Design Engineer in Munich. As a member of our multifaceted group, you will have the rare and rewarding opportunity to craft upcoming products that will delight and inspire millions of Apple’s customers every single day. In this role, you will be at the center of a PHY design effort collaborating with architecture, CAD, timing and logic design teams, with a critical impact on delivering best in class PHY designs. You will be required to do physical designs of best in class PHY design. Join us!

DESCRIPTION

Responsibilities include especially, but are not limited to: Static timing analysis for high speed IP’s, incl. analog mixed signal interfaces. CTS setup and optimisation for high frequency, multiple clocks networks. Developing floor-plans under strong area constraints with best aligned for full chip integration. Account and optimise for low power during every implementation step. Perform full place and route flow on hierarchical design blocks and meet all design targets for timing, area and power on a challenging project timeline. Implement functional, timing, noise, EMIR, etc. ECO’s. Run all types of physical design verification give feedback to hard macro owners and other involved teams and perform design reviews. - Participate in physical design methodologies meetings - Assist in our AMS flow development to improve our best in class env. even further.
