Job description

As a Pixel IP DMA Design Engineer in the Hardware Technologies group, you will play a crucial role in the design of high-performance, low-power DMA engines that facilitate data movement between the memory system and the Pixel IP Engine. This position involves collaboration with architecture, design, and verification teams to ensure the functionality and performance of the designs. You will contribute to the development of next-generation system-on-chips (SoCs) that power Apple products. Your work will directly impact the delivery of innovative solutions to millions of customers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field with no prior experience required.
  • Experience in multimedia IP/SoC front-end ASIC RTL design.
  • Strong collaboration skills with excellent written and verbal communication abilities.
  • Experience working multi-functionally with architecture, design, and verification teams.
  • Previous experience designing dedicated DMA engines, particularly for machine learning applications.
  • Good understanding of arbitration, address translation, caching, and on-chip interconnects.
  • Familiarity with common on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB).
  • Experience in front-end implementation tasks including synthesis and power analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Explore solutions to enhance performance while minimizing power and area.
  • Detail specifications and build RTL designs.
  • Work with design verification and formal verification teams to verify functionality and performance.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
