Apple is seeking an experienced engineer to work on the design and development of hardware for cache subsystems in high-performance system on a chip (SoC). The role involves addressing design challenges related to parallelism, bandwidth, and capacity while meeting the varying needs of clients. The engineer will collaborate with the physical design team to ensure timing closure and will focus on crafting special purpose cache and controller components. This position requires a strong background in memory systems and cache design.

• 10+ years of full-time ASIC design experience
• Experience in memory system development
• Proficiency in RTL/micro-architecture definition
• Knowledge of PPA (performance/power/area) analysis
• Background in cache design with an understanding of different memory organizations and trade-offs
• Hands-on experience with multi-processor cache coherence protocols
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field
• Knowledge of high-performance coherent memory systems or interconnect architectures
• Knowledge of high-performance DRAM controller
• Master's degree in a relevant field

• Design and develop hardware for cache subsystems in high-performance SoCs.
• Develop cache micro-architecture based on architecture guidelines and model analysis.
• Explore architecture trade-offs in system performance, area, and power consumption.
• Develop and debug register-transfer level (RTL) design of various sections in the cache subsystem.
• Work on front-end netlist and area/timing analysis of the cache subsystem.
• Collaborate with the physical design team on the timing closure of the cache subsystem.
