This role is part of Apple's design verification team, focusing on the creation, deployment, and support of sophisticated emulation environments for large SoCs. The position involves collaboration with Architecture, Design, and Software teams to ensure high-quality functional products are delivered quickly. The team plays a critical role in using emulation for verification, which includes porting designs onto the Palladium platform and developing test plans. Candidates will leverage their expertise in design verification and emulation tools to contribute to innovative product development.

• Minimum of a BS degree with 10 years of relevant industry experience.
• Understanding of the tool flow from RTL to Emulation.
• Good understanding of any Standard Emulator or FPGA flow.
• Proven design verification skills.
• Experience in writing synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog code and SystemVerilog assertions.
• Experience with System Verilog verification environments including C/C++ DPI and UVM.
• Experience with writing and debugging test firmware.
• Experience in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or TCL.
• Excellent analytical and debugging skills.
• Experience in UVM Acceleration is a plus.

• Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, DV, Silicon Validation, Power, and Software teams to bring up large SoCs on the emulation platform.
• Develop and apply synthesizable monitors, checkers, and stimulus on the emulation platform.
• Prepare and complete the test plan and perform reviews with multi-functional teams.
• Perform low power testing on the emulation platform.
• Develop code for design and verification that aids with emulation activities using Verilog, System Verilog, and UVM.
• Develop random stimulus infrastructure by reusing existing UVM simulation constraints.
