The CPU Processor Power Management Verification Engineer will play a crucial role in the chip design effort at Apple, focusing on verifying the functionality of Power Management and Clock Control logic. This position requires collaboration with architecture and RTL designers to ensure the correctness of designs that impact millions of customers. The engineer will develop and execute test plans, create tests in various programming languages, and work closely with the silicon bringup team. This role demands strong communication skills and the ability to work independently on verification efforts.

• Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience
• Experience with digital logic, micro-processor architecture, or power management architecture
• Experience with digital design verification including Verilog/System-Verilog based testbenches and transactors checkers
• Programming skills in scripting languages such as Perl or Python
• Master's degree preferred
• Experience in processor or power management architecture and verification
• In-depth knowledge in design verification environments like random constraint verification and/or UVM base testbenches
• Experience in system Verilog assertions or silicon bringup or UPF and low power simulation
• Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal verification is a plus
• Advanced programming skills such as object-oriented programming or CPU assembly language is a plus

• Work closely with architecture and RTL designers on verifying the functionality correctness of the Power Management and Clock Control logic
• Develop and execute test plans and schedules for the power management and clock control logic
• Develop tests in Assembly, Scripts, System Verilog, or vectors according to test plans to drive testing in simulation and emulation environments
• Root cause failures and propose potential solutions to the design team
• Work with the silicon bringup team on developing tests that work in the emulation and FPGA environments
• Aid silicon debug in related parts of the design
• Develop coverage monitors and analyze coverage to ensure all the test cases in the test plans are covered
• Develop checkers or Verilog/System Verilog-based transactors to verify the design
• Write assertions and apply formal verification to the design
