The RTL Design Engineer position at Apple is an exciting opportunity within the mixed-signal silicon design team. This role focuses on integrating high-performance mixed-signal and analog IPs into high-speed digital circuits while ensuring formal equivalence between custom designs and their abstract representations. The engineer will work on specifying, designing, verifying, and supporting lab bring-up of sophisticated digital and mixed-signal circuits. This position offers the chance to gain valuable experience in software methods and analysis crucial to the semiconductor industry.

• BS degree and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
• Expertise in front-end tools such as Verilog simulators and linters
• Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis, and design-for-test (DFT)
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog assertions and advanced verification techniques
• Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl and Python
• Familiarity with formal verification and low-power design methodologies
• Experience in hardware-software co-design and system-level optimization
• Hands-on DSP experience with signal processing concepts and RTL algorithm implementation
• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in GenAI for SystemVerilog design and validation

• Specify and micro-architect digital and signal processing blocks in mixed-signal circuits
• Perform RTL coding of blocks specified by yourself or others, including DSP algorithm implementation
• Participate in design verification and bring-up by writing meaningful assertions and debugging code
• Interact with the design verification team to ensure successful integration of designs
• Contribute to lab bring-up by writing test scripts and analyzing lab data
• Propose experiments and validate signal processing performance
