Job Description

Join Apple's wireless silicon development team as a PHY Design Verification Engineer, where you'll be responsible for pre-silicon RTL verification of wireless PHY and its interfaces. You'll collaborate with various engineering teams to develop reusable test benches and ensure high design quality through advanced verification methodologies.

Requirements

Verification experience of wireless/wired communication block/subsystem.
Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion.
Excellent knowledge and experience of ASIC verification flows including test bench development, constrained random testing, and code/functional coverage.
Experience of using Matlab/C reference model and bit-accurate verification.
Knowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee.
Proficient in shell and Python scripting, Perl scripting.
Experience of using AI technologies in data mining/analysis.
Experience of Palladium/FPGA validation.

Responsibilities

Work closely with the system and design teams to review and understand the PHY subsystem microarchitecture, and create verification plans from specifications.
Build block/subsystem level test benches with a reference model, using the best-in-class DV methodology.
Develop and execute both directed and constrained random tests, debug failures, manage bug tracking, and work with designers to drive closure of issues found.
Create and analyze block/subsystem-level coverage models, and add test cases to increase coverage.
Use machine learning and AI technologies to identify design and test bench issues and ensure DV quality.
Support PHY subsystem validation using Palladium and/or FPGA.
Work with team members to improve DV methodology and flow.
