This role is part of the Silicon Engineering group focused on designing and manufacturing high-performance, power-efficient processors for Apple products. The main focus is on timing closure of complex GPU designs, ensuring they meet the necessary performance and efficiency standards. The position involves collaboration with various teams, including Architecture, RTL, and Physical Design, to implement best practices for timing convergence. The role offers opportunities to influence next-generation GPU designs and engage in product development from concept to post-silicon validation.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
• 3 years of relevant experience in STA and timing closure or physical design.
• Experience with scripting languages such as TCL, Python, Perl, and shell scripting.
• Master's degree preferred.
• Experience working with EDA tools and exposure to their APIs.
• Familiarity with STA concepts and understanding of cross-talk, OCV, and noise.
• Experience in analyzing large volumes of data and generating ECOs.

• Interact with RTL and architecture teams to understand physical design constraints related to timing.
• Work with Synthesis and Physical Design teams to implement optimized designs for power, performance, and timing.
• Set up all DFT modes and ensure all test features are properly timed.
• Assemble the top-level design for STA and review logs and reports for accurate analysis.
• Create and maintain scripts and automation for high-quality STA reports.
• Run ECO flows on the design and be responsible for timing closure.
• Drive and support tapeout activities by running signoff checks for high-quality silicon.
• Collaborate with CAD and vendors to improve analysis flows and introduce groundbreaking features.

• 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.
