The CPU ML Microarchitect/RTL Engineer will be part of Apple's Silicon Engineering Group, focusing on the development of high-performance, low power microprocessors for innovative products like the iPhone and Mac. This role involves driving the architecture and RTL development for CPU machine-learning accelerators. The engineer will work closely with multi-functional teams to ensure that designs meet power, performance, and area goals. A strong emphasis is placed on micro-architecture development, verification, and performance exploration.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and 3+ years of industry experience
• Experience with microprocessor architecture
• Knowledge of logic design principles with timing and power implications
• Proficiency in Verilog or VHDL
• Experience with simulators and waveform debugging processes
• Expertise in areas such as out-of-order execution and cache subsystems
• Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques
• Familiarity with high-performance techniques in CPU microarchitecture
• Experience in C or C++ programming
• Proficiency in an interpretive language such as Perl or Python

• Develop and specify micro-architecture from high-level exploration to detailed specification
• Own the development, assessment, and refinement of RTL design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals
• Support the verification team in developing test benches and conducting functional verification
• Explore high-performance strategies and verify that the RTL design meets performance targets
• Collaborate with multi-functional engineering teams to implement and verify physical design aspects
