Job description

Join Apple's wireless silicon development team, focusing on energy-efficient design and innovative technologies that enhance user experience. The role involves developing MAC layer designs for wireless communication SoCs and collaborating with various teams to ensure optimal performance and power efficiency. You will be part of a vertically coordinated engineering team dedicated to creating high-quality designs. This position requires extensive experience in ASIC microarchitecture and RTL design.

Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Demonstrated experience in translating functional requirements into synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL
  • Knowledge of digital design flows such as RTL simulation and debug, synthesis, lint, STA, and LEC
  • Ability to design multi-clock-domain logic and resolve CDC problems
  • Understanding wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, Bluetooth or 3GPP
  • Understanding of ASIC low power design techniques is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Develop MAC layer design for wireless communication SoCs
  • Create microarchitecture and other documents based on system-level requirements
  • Write area- and power-efficient RTL that is scalable
  • Collaborate with systems and software teams to ensure performance and power efficiency
  • Work with verification and emulation teams on debug, test plan review and code coverage closure
  • Run tools to ensure lint and CDC/RDC clean design
  • Work with synthesis team to review constraints, close timing and review area/timing reports

Benefits

  • 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.
