Wireless MAC Design Engineer

at  Apple

SUMMARY

Posted: Feb 2, 2024
Role Number:200537269
Come join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SOC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development. With a particular emphasis on highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture, and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS

• Very strong digital logic design fundamentals
• Expertise in translating functional requirements into synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL
• Knowledge of digital design flows such as RTL simulation and debug, synthesis, lint, STA and LEC
• Ability to design multi-clock-domain logic and resolve CDC problems
• 4+ years of experience in ASIC microarchitecture and RTL design
• Understanding of wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, Bluetooth or 3GPP is a plus
• Understanding of ASIC low power design techniques, e.g. multiple supply domains configuration and management, dynamic power/clock scaling and power analysis is a plus
• Familiarity with power estimation (vector-less and vector-based), modeling, profiling, and post silicon power correlation
• Understanding of ASIC test methodologies, including DFT, scan insertion, memory BIST, and others is a plus
• Excellent organizational skills
• Excellent communications skills - both written and oral.

DESCRIPTION

• Prepare microarchitecture and RTL for digital logic of the wireless MAC based on a set of functional requirements - Participate in HW/SW partitioning discussions with the SW and FW engineering teams - Work with physical design, DFT, Power and CAD teams to complete and deliver completed MAC IP for SoC integration. - Support verification / prototyping / emulation teams during pre-silicon verification, prototyping, and SW/FW development. - Support post-silicon validation, system integration and debug efforts and attend to any required silicon design revisions.
