Description

At Apple, phenomenal ideas have a way of becoming great products and customer experiences very quickly. The industry is accustomed to Apple taping out the SOC’s for our various products at a rigorous pace. In order to achieve this, Apple’s best-in-class chip is driven by top notch design engineers who implement various blocks of the chip and deliver high quality components to SoC. This is a high transparency and critically important role and requires close working relationships with many groups and an organized approach to coordinate all tasks in parallel to hit schedules consistently with a quality design. Our position requires in-depth knowledge of the chip micro-architecture and digital logic design.. DESCRIPTION - Work with architecture team to define the design microarchitecture hierarchy and interfaces and develop microarchitecture spec. Refine the spec with reviews with other teams - Develop RTL design of one or more blocks following established design guidelines based on microarchitecture spec. Own all aspects of RTL development design. - Work and collaborate with other designers in the group to deliver results. - Integrate common/shared IP blocks to design and optimize memories/hard macros required for the block - Work with front-end synthesis/STA teams to ensure timing for the block is met - Work with power/performance and functional verification team to ensure high quality of the block - Work with multi-disciplinary groups to make sure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality by incorporating proper checks at every stage of the design process MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Minimum of BS + 10 years relevant industry experience PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS A consistent track record of dedication designs in high volume production for low power applications Experience in driving microarchitecture and developing specification for logic designs Consistent record of RTL design on large sophisticated designs Solid working experience with synthesis, power, performance and verification team to develop and deliver high quality RTL design timely Strong interpersonal skills are a must, as the candidate will talk to a lot of diverse groups within the company Self-starter, highly motivated, highly organized, and schedule driven is a must Familiarity with all front-end tools including lint, CDC, synthesis is a plus Knowledge of high speed DRAM memory controller design or interconnect design is highly preferable.

Responsibilities

The role involves working with the architecture team to define microarchitecture specifications and developing RTL designs for various blocks of the chip. Collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams is essential to ensure timely delivery of high-quality designs.
