Job description

The GPU Design Verification Engineer will play a crucial role in the Silicon Technologies group, focusing on the pre-silicon RTL verification of sub-units in the Apple GPU. This position requires a deep understanding of micro-architectural details and the ability to ensure seamless verification flow across various design levels. The engineer will collaborate with design leads and architects to develop verification plans and improve test environments. This role is essential for crafting technology that enhances Apple’s devices and user experiences.

Requirements

  • Previous design verification experience is required.
  • Experience developing unit or cluster level test environments is necessary.
  • A Bachelor's degree plus 10 years of relevant experience is required.
  • Experience with verification languages such as SystemVerilog is essential.
  • Experience with HDL simulators and waveform viewers is needed.
  • Experience with GPU unit testing is highly desired.
  • Understanding of the Graphics Pipeline is a plus.
  • Experience defining and executing unit level test plans is required.
  • Experience with common verification methodologies such as UVM is necessary.
  • Experience defining coverage space, writing coverage, and achieving coverage closure is required.
  • Solid fundamental software and programming skills are essential.
  • Experience with Perl, Ruby, Shell scripting, and Makefiles is necessary.

Responsibilities

  • Develop verification plans in coordination with design leads and architects.
  • Build and maintain portable verification test bench components and environments.
  • Generate directed and constrained random tests.
  • Run simulations and debug design and environment issues.
  • Create functional coverage points, analyze coverage, and improve test environment to target coverage holes.
  • Create automated verification flows for block verification.
  • Apply knowledge of hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog) to verify complex designs.
  • Work with other block, subsystem, and chip level engineers to ensure seamless verification flow.

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