Job description

This role at Apple focuses on verifying and validating design features through the development of test benches and regression scripts. The position requires collaboration with design teams to ensure comprehensive coverage and the identification of design bugs. The successful candidate will utilize various programming languages and tools to automate testing processes and enhance verification methodologies. This is an opportunity to work in a dynamic environment that values innovation and diversity.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field.
  • Experience using SystemVerilog for constrained random test development.
  • Experience using C for reference model and checker development.
  • Experience utilizing Perl, Python, or shell scripting for regression automation.
  • Knowledge of Digital Electronics concepts to understand the design under test.
  • Experience utilizing simulators and waveform viewers, including VCS or Verdi, for running and debugging simulations.
  • Knowledge of CPU architecture for verifying CPU based designs.
  • Experience using Verilog RTL design constructs for debugging designs.
  • Experience using MATLAB to create models used in verification.

Responsibilities

  • Review design specifications and test plans with verification and cross-functional teams.
  • Generate coverage databases and collaborate with the design team to close coverage gaps.
  • Develop regression scripts and run regressions on Apple's regression infrastructure.
  • File tickets to track RTL bugs and provide designers with the waveform of the bug and reproduction command.
  • Develop test bench environments and conduct directed and random/constrained tests to verify design features.
  • Develop functional coverage metrics to meet verification goals.
  • Create reusable and scalable testbenches for integration into higher level environments.
  • Plan and develop checkers to identify design bugs.

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.
