This role is part of Apple's Silicon Technologies group, focusing on the physical verification of next-generation processors and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The team is responsible for ensuring that Apple products can efficiently handle complex tasks, contributing to the overall user experience. The position requires collaboration with various teams throughout the chip design cycle to achieve successful tapeout signoffs. Candidates will engage in physical verification checks and lead cross-functional engineering efforts.

• Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience with physical verification flows such as DRC, LVS, ANT, and HVDRC signoff flows.
• Knowledge of ASIC physical design and verification checks for hierarchical designs.
• Scripting skills in Perl, Python, or Tcl for debugging and automating checks.
• Experience with industry-standard tools for physical verification such as Mentor Calibre and Synopsys ICV.
• Tapeout experience with a track record of successful signoffs.

• Perform various types of physical verification checks at the chip and block level.
• Collaborate with CAD and technology teams for flow bring-up and validation.
• Work directly with the implementation team during the entire chip design cycle.
• Lead schedules and support cross-functional engineering efforts.
• Work on padring, bump, RDL design, and collaborate with package and floorplan teams.
