This role is for a design verification engineer at Apple, focusing on producing fully functional first silicon for IP designs. The engineer will work on pre-silicon verification phases, including establishing DV methodology and developing test plans. The position involves creating a scalable and portable verification environment and ensuring bug-free silicon for parts of the SoC/IP. The engineer will also utilize LLM and related technologies to enhance execution efficiency and quality.

• Bachelor's degree in a technical subject area.
• A minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience is strongly preferred.
• Strong knowledge of OOP, SystemVerilog, and UVM.
• Strong knowledge in developing scalable and portable test-benches.
• Proven experience with verification methodologies and tools such as simulators and coverage collection.
• Some working experience using LLMs for efficiency and quality.
• Experience with power-aware (UPF) or similar verification methodology.
• Knowledge of one of the scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL.
• Some experience with serial protocols such as PCIe or USB is a plus.
• Knowledge of formal verification methodology is a plus.
• Knowledge of emulation for verification technologies is a plus.

• Establish DV methodology and develop test plans.
• Develop verification environment including stimulus, checkers, and assertions.
• Write tests and debug failures to ensure bug-free first silicon.
• Track and report DV progress using various metrics.
• Develop detailed test and coverage plans based on micro-architecture.
• Implement verification plans including design bring-up and regression enabling.
• Utilize LLM and related technologies to improve execution efficiency and quality.
