JobsFE Design and Timing Engineer
Job description
Join Apple's wireless silicon development team, focusing on high performance, low power wireless SoCs from RTL to GDSII delivery. This role involves collaboration with multi-disciplinary groups to achieve power, performance, and area goals for Apple products. You will work closely with various teams including RTL designers, CAD, UPF, DFT, and Physical design to ensure timely and high-quality design delivery. This position is critical in the ASIC creation effort, impacting the launch of leading-edge products.
Requirements
- Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
- Knowledge of the ASIC design flow, synthesis, static timing analysis, and RTL to Post Synthesis netlist.
- Exposure to industry standard Timing, Logic Equivalence, Physical Design, and Synthesis tools.
- Proficient in scripting in TCL, Perl, or Python.
- Knowledge of basic SoC Architecture and HDL languages like Verilog/System Verilog.
- BS with some relevant industry experience.
- Hands-on experience in timing/SDC constraints generation, analysis, and management.
- Knowledge of timing corners, operating conditions, process variations, and signal integrity-related issues.
- Knowledge of Place and Route steps including floor planning, CTS, Routing, and timing ECOs.
- Understanding of UPF and low-power design and implementation techniques.
- Understanding of DFT methodologies including Scan and BIST.
Responsibilities
- Implement high performance, low power wireless SoCs from RTL to GDSII.
- Collaborate with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock structure.
- Work with CAD to develop and understand design flows.
- Interact with UPF and DFT teams to insert power and test structures.
- Coordinate with the Physical design team to close and sign-off timing.
- Ensure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality.
- Incorporate targeted checks at every stage of the design process.
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.
