In this role at Apple, you will be responsible for the physical implementation of design partitions for a highly complex SOC. You will work closely with the logic design team to drive physical aspects early in the design cycle. The position requires a strong focus on timing, physical and electrical verification, and achieving signoff closure for the partitions. Your expertise will contribute to optimizing power, performance, and area in the design process.

• Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Knowledge of partition level P&R implementation including floorplanning, clock and power distribution, timing closure, physical and electrical verification.
• Experience with industry standard tools and understanding their capabilities and underlying algorithms.
• Familiarity with typical SOC issues such as multiple voltage and clock domains and mixed signal block integration.
• MS in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field.
• Experience with large SOC designs greater than 20M gates with frequencies in excess of 1GHz.
• Familiarity with various process-related design issues including Design for Yield and Manufacturability and multi-vt strategies.

• Work with the logic design team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle.
• Complete netlist to GDS2 implementation for partition(s) meeting schedule and design goals.
• Perform timing, physical and electrical verification, and drive the signoff closure for the partitions.
• Resolve and improve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions, and drive execution.
• Drive optimization of PnR partitions to achieve the best Power/Performance/Area.

• Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage.
