architecture/microarchitecture, front end pre-silicon design flow,
RTL design/coding, logic design, Verilog/System Verilog, low power
design, timing/power/performance analysis, C/C++ Design
Verification: In Design Verification, you will enable us to produce
fully functional first silicon. Knowledge of chip architecture,
Pre-silicon RTL design verification, System Verilog or UVM/OVM/VMM,
block/chip/core test bench exp, System Verilog Assertion (SVA),
C/C++/assembly, Perl/Python Physical Design: In Physical Design,
you will be at the center of design effort collaborating with
architecture, CAD, timing and logic design teams, with a critical
impact on delivering best in class designs Knowledge of basic chip
architecture, back end chip design flow, physical synthesis,
floor-planning, place and route (PnR), power grid, timing (STA),
physical design verification (DRC/LVS), EMIR (Redhawk/Totem/Voltus)
Modeling/Performance Engineer: You will be focused on writing code
for modeling and performance modeling for GPUs, CPUs, SoCs and
other model infrastructure. C++, SystemC scripting; Python modeling
for H/W verification, workloads, correlation, and analysis.
experience in chip development environment with RTL and
verification define, architect, design and implement and deploy
models. CAD Engineer: You will develop and support chip level
design methodology and flow. You'll be plugged into all tech nodes
for chip delivery and be able to contribute on multiple projects.
Must have excellent CAD flow programming and algorithm development
knowledge. You will be collaborating with VLSI design and CAD
teams, and EDA vendors to seek some of the most significant design
problems. Strong analytical skills, effective communication and
leadership qualities. Signal Integrity/RF Engineer: In RF
Integrity, you will engage with cross-disciplinary teams to develop
SoCs that will be used in Apple's mobile devices. Specifically,
responsibilities include developing novel methodology to solve very
complex coupling issues, mitigating multi-radio coexistence
problems at IC, package/module, and systems, as well as executing
RF design integration topologies. Prior RF circuit design and EM
modeling experience is highly preferred. Embedded Engineer: In
Embedded Software Engineering, you will make up a significant
portion of the Silicon Validation and Productization teams. Our
embedded engineers develop, port, release, maintain, and enhance
software to enable large scale testing of Apple's SoCs. These
engineers will integrate existing test software between
environments, enhance test software to exercise functional blocks,
develop Linux device drivers and user-land tests, implement device
libraries to aid in the portability of device drivers, bring up
low-level code on new SoCs and develop our own SMP RTOS. We have
several types of embedded software engineers that focus on various
aspects of the chip including feature validation (video, audio,
display, etc.), IP validation, performance testing,
micro-controller code, and low-level software. These engineers work
in bare-metal, RTOS, and/or Linux environments to write software
that runs on every Apple SoC in the design validation phase and
downstream during manufacturing in the factory to identify bugs.
C/C++ is the primary coding language (with some ARM Assembly) and
Python is the primary scripting language. Power/Battery Engineer:
In this role, you will be on the forefront of development bringing
innovations in the industry Electronic circuit design/development
experience for microcontroller-based systems. Knowledge of
inter-module communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.) and
familiarity of embedded systems. Prior experience in batteries,
portable consumer electronics, Power Supplies, Medical Electronics,
or automotive electronics. Analog/Mixed Signal Engineer: You will
work closely with multi-functional teams with an understanding of
design specs and requirements for analog mixed signal (AMS)
circuits, including SerDes, PLLs & Data Converters. Experience of
designing AMS circuit blocks such as bandages, biasing circuits,
LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits,
ADCs, DACs, oscillators, filters. Device physics knowledge as it
applies to analog IC design. IC Packaging Engineer: You will
develop advanced packaging technologies for a multitude of projects
including SoC's Hands on experience with Cadence ADP/SIP.
Familiarity with Signal and Power Integrity fundamentals. You'll be
responsible for package/SIP layout, optimization, design
verification and taping out. Silicon Validation: You will have the
opportunity as either an embedded software engineer, high-speed
board design engineer, or debug/triage engineer to work at the
cross-section of hardware and software to perform silicon bring-up
and system level validation of Apple's SOCs. These teams build test
software environments, debug tools, automated tests, and PCB boards
that push functional blocks to their limits in order to root cause
failures in the Silicon, identify fixes, and optimize performance
and efficiency before we manufacture hundreds of millions of units.
Knowledge of debug, silicon bring-up, chip architecture and design,
embedded systems, C/C++/assembly, Python/Perl/Tcl. Platform
Engineer: You will work as either an FPGA or Emulation engineer who
build prototypes on FPGAs, build emulation models, and perform
emulation on each yet-to-be-built chip with the primary goal of
debugging. Knowledge of chip architecture and design, industry
standard interfaces, FPGA tool flow, Verilog, C/C++/assembly,
Python/Perl/Tcl, and debugging.Education & ExperiencePursuing an
