In this role at Apple, you will be responsible for the physical implementation of design partitions for a complex System on Chip (SoC) using advanced process technology. You will work closely with design teams to debug constraints and facilitate logic changes to enhance timing. The position requires a strong focus on timing analysis and the creation of methodologies to support project tapeout. You will also be involved in documentation and guideline creation to ensure best practices are followed.

• Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience
• Experience with large design Static Timing Analysis (STA) and/or Timing Closure
• Programming skills with Perl and TCL
• Hands-on experience in Static Timing Analysis
• Familiarity with timing aspects of large high-performance SoC designs in sub-micron technologies
• Proficiency in STA methodologies for timing closure and understanding of noise, crosstalk, and OCV effects
• Familiarity with circuit modeling, including SPICE models and worst-case corner selection
• Knowledge of ECO techniques and implementation
• Strong communication skills to describe issues and follow them through to completion

• Work with design teams to understand and debug constraints and facilitate logic changes to improve timing
• Collaborate with the Physical Design team to highlight issues and best practices
• Help create timing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) for project tapeout
• Create and maintain scripts and methodologies for analysis and runs
• Create documentation and assist with guidelines and specifications
• Conduct deep analysis of timing paths to identify key issues
• Implement timing infrastructure
