Apple's Silicon Engineering Group is seeking dedicated CPU Implementation Engineers to contribute to the design and optimization of CPU micro-architecture. The role involves working closely with micro-architects and cross-functional teams to ensure design feasibility and enhance power, performance, and area trade-offs. Engineers will be responsible for block-level design delivery and improving silicon yield while collaborating with internal teams on synthesis and place-and-route tool optimizations. This position offers the opportunity to be part of a dynamic team that drives innovation in CPU design.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and at least 3 years of industry experience
• Experience in logic design and digital circuits
• Proficiency in TCL or Perl
• Familiarity with high-performance CPU microprocessor architecture
• Experience with industry-standard logic synthesis, place-and-route, static timing analysis, and power analysis tools

• Work with micro-architects to define micro-architecture and assist with design feasibility and PPA trade-offs
• Drive RTL-to-GDS design convergence through microarchitecture and logic optimizations
• Ensure block-level design delivery and closure of backend flows and electrical requirements
• Collaborate with internal CAD and PD methodology teams on tool features and optimizations
• Work with cross-functional teams on CPU floorplan, timing, power, reliability, and testability
• Collaborate with custom IP teams to optimize memory macros and library standard cells
