Apple's Silicon Engineering Group is seeking an experienced RTL Engineer to drive the architecture and RTL development of next-generation CPUs. The role involves working on microarchitecture development, RTL feature ownership, and validation processes. The engineer will collaborate with a multifunctional team to ensure design delivery meets performance, power, and reliability goals. This position is crucial for the development of high-performance, low-power microprocessors that power Apple's innovative products.

• Minimum BS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
• Experience with microprocessor architecture
• Proficiency in Verilog or VHDL
• Knowledge of logic design principles
• Expertise in areas such as instruction fetch and decode, branch prediction, and cache and memory subsystems
• Understanding of timing, power, and area tradeoffs in CPU microarchitecture
• Familiarity with low power and high performance microarchitecture techniques
• Experience using an interpretive language such as Perl or Python
• Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools such as Verdi

• Develop and specify microarchitecture from high-level exploration to detailed specifications
• Own the development, assessment, and refinement of new RTL features targeting power, performance, area, and timing goals
• Support test bench development and simulation for functional and performance verification
• Explore high performance strategies and validate that the RTL design meets targeted performance
• Collaborate with a multifunctional engineering team to implement and validate physical design aspects
