The CPU team at Apple is seeking a CPU Power Engineer to focus on power budgeting, analysis, and identifying recovery opportunities in high-performance designs. This role involves collaboration across micro-architecture, RTL, physical design, and technology. The ideal candidate will contribute to the development of innovative products by analyzing power impacts and generating estimates throughout the project lifecycle. A passion for innovation and dedication to excellence is essential in this dynamic environment.

Requirements

  • Minimum BS degree is required.

  • Broad knowledge related to micro-architecture and physical implementation is essential.
  • Experience with industry-standard power analysis tools like PrimePower and PowerArtist is required.
  • Academic or industry experience with CPU architecture and implementation is preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze and estimate the power impact of implementing new micro-architectural features.
  • Generate power rollups and projected estimates from initial to mature net lists throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Analyze power contributions to identify opportunities for recovery in physical implementation and RTL.
  • Create power projections considering the expected cost of convergence and implementation, and refine the process.

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.
