In this role at Apple, you will be responsible for the physical implementation of design partitions for a highly complex SOC. You will collaborate with the logic design team to drive physical aspects early in the design cycle and ensure that the implementation meets schedule and design goals. This position requires a strong focus on optimization and verification processes to achieve the best power, performance, and area. You will also address design and flow issues while adhering to stringent schedule and die size requirements.

• Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
• MS in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field
• Experience with partition level P&R implementation including floorplanning, clock and power distribution, timing closure, physical and electrical verification
• Experience with large SOC designs (>20M gates) with frequencies in excess of 1GHZ
• Familiar with various process-related design issues including Design for Yield and Manufacturability and multi-vt strategies
• Experience with industry standard tools and understanding their capabilities and underlying algorithms
• Experience with typical SOC issues such as multiple voltage and clock domains and mixed signal block integration
• From a CAD perspective, experience with floorplanning tools, P&R flows, global timing verification, and physical design verification flows
• Strong communication skills

• 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 best Power/Performance/Area
