As an ASIC STA Engineer at Apple, you will be responsible for ensuring timing sign-off and developing sign-off flow for SoC design. You will work closely with RTL designers, CAD teams, and physical design teams to achieve quality timing constraints. The role requires innovation in timing constraints and flow to facilitate timing closure. Strong communication skills and collaboration with diverse groups are essential for success in this position.

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
• 2+ years of experience in writing ASIC timing constraints and timing closure
• Proven knowledge of the ASIC design timing closure flow and methodology
• Expertise in STA tools such as Primetime and knowledge of timing corners/modes
• Hands-on experience in timing/SDC constraints generation and management
• Proficient in scripting languages like Tcl and Perl
• Familiarity with synthesis, DFT, and backend related methodology and tools
• Strong communication skills

• Perform timing sign-off and develop STA and sign-off flow.
• Own IP and block level timing constraints for both regular and custom timing requirements.
• Collaborate with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock structure.
• Work with CAD teams to develop and understand flow.
• Close and sign-off timing with the physical design team.
• Innovate timing constraints and flow to facilitate timing closure.
• Verify timing constraints and address any potential pessimism in timing analysis.

• 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. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
