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.
In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group, with a critical impact on getting innovative and functional products to hundreds of millions of customers quickly. As a Wireless Design Engineer, you will be responsible for RTL design of wireless MAC and its interface with the rest of the wireless SoC. You will interact with the software team, wireless system team, and design verification team to develop the best-in-class wireless MAC IPs that ensure the most advanced features and performance, with optimal power and area trade-off.
In this role, you will develop high performance low power ASIC design for wireless MAC, including: Writing specifications and other documents Microarchitecture definition RTL logic design, IP integration, and verification support Running front end tools to ensure lint-free and CDC/RDC clean design Synthesis and timing constraints Power analysis and optimization Collaboration with system and software team to ensure functionality, performance, and power efficiency Develop and maintain methodology/flow/checks for your design
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience Proven track record of high performance designs in high volume production for low power applications Solid background in computer architecture including one or more of the following: Bus fabric, especially APB/AHB/AXI, Memory systems, System debug architecture, Power management with multiple power domains, Encryption/decryption engines, Integer and floating-point numeric units, High-speed data path and control units. Experience in ASIC design front end flows - Lint, CDC, STA, LEC Knowledge and experience in MAC layer of wired/wireless communication system preferred Knowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or Zigbee preferred
5+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC design flow SoC top-level integration experience and system architecture knowledge is a plus Proficiency in HDL languages, such as Verilog / SystemVerilog Scripting languages (Shell, Perl, Python) desirable Ability to work well in a team and be productive under aggressive schedule Excellent communication skills and self-motivation/organization
