Job description

As an ASIC Design Engineer in the Pixel IP design team, you will play a crucial role in developing high-performance, low-power pixel processing engines for Apple products. You will collaborate with various teams to design and optimize digital signal processing pipelines for capturing and displaying images and video. This position requires a strong understanding of computer architecture and digital design principles. Your work will directly impact the functionality and performance of products used by millions of customers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
  • Knowledge of front-end ASIC RTL digital logic design using Verilog or System Verilog.
  • Strong problem-solving skills using finite state machines, pipelining, and parallelism.
  • Good collaboration skills with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with common on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB) is preferred.
  • Knowledge of front-end implementation tasks such as synthesis and timing/area/power analysis.
  • Familiarity with relevant scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL is preferred.
  • Familiarity with High-Level Synthesis and hardware design using SystemC/C++ languages is a plus.
  • Background in digital signal processing concepts is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Perform digital hardware design by writing high-quality RTL with embedded assertions and cover points.
  • Write detailed micro-architectural specifications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to explore solutions that maximize performance while minimizing power and area.
  • Synthesize designs and optimize for power, timing, and area.
  • Work closely with design verification and formal verification teams to debug and 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.
