This role is part of Apple's Silicon Technologies group, focusing on the design and manufacture of high-performance, power-efficient GPUs. The position requires a blend of strategic engineering and hands-on experience in physical design and large chip integration. The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing complete chip design from RTL to tapeout, ensuring that Apple products can handle complex tasks seamlessly. Collaboration with various teams and driving methodologies to optimize physical design are key aspects of this role.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field plus 3 years of relevant experience.
• Experience with floorplanning partitions, conducting route and placement flow experiments, and reviewing static timing.
• Ability in all aspects of ASIC implementation including Synthesis, DFT insertion, Floorplanning, and Place and Route.
• Experience with multi-voltage, power gated, and power retention designs.
• Practical knowledge of hierarchical design approaches and timing convergence.

• Work closely with the FE team to understand chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle.
• Drive outstanding PD construction and optimization recipes for performance, power, and area.
• Collaborate to drive methodologies and best practices to streamline physical design work.
• Lead and resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identifying potential solutions.
• Drive the work among place and route engineers, setting goals and planning work.

• 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. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
