Job description

This role at Apple involves the design verification of Analog and Mixed Signal ASIC IPs to ensure bug-free first silicon for System on a Chip (SoC) and IP. The position requires developing detailed test and coverage plans based on micro-architecture and creating a scalable verification environment. The team focuses on executing verification plans, including design bring-up and debugging test failures. This role is essential for ensuring that ASICs function correctly once manufactured.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience using Verilog and System Verilog to create complex verification environments.
  • Knowledge of digital design and verification to test designs and debug failures.
  • Proficiency in Python for creating validation scripts.
  • Understanding of Computer Architecture and its application with soft IP cores.
  • Experience using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) in verification environments.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages like Perl for creating executable scripts.
  • Experience with industry-standard simulation and debugging tools such as VCS, Verdi debugger, or Indago debugger.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop detailed test and coverage plans based on micro-architecture.
  • Create a verification methodology suitable for the IP to ensure a scalable and portable environment.
  • Develop and execute verification plans, including design bring-up and DV environment setup.
  • Track and report DV progress using various metrics, including bugs and coverage.
  • Implement different aspects of the verification flow, including constrained randomization and functional coverage.

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.
