Job description
As an SRAM Circuit Designer in the Digital Custom Group, you will be part of a world-class silicon design team responsible for creating innovative solutions for Apple's flagship products. Your role will focus on designing and implementing custom digital circuits for SRAM, collaborating with a talented team to optimize architecture and specifications. This position is critical in influencing the design of CPU, GPU, and SoC components, ensuring high performance and efficiency. You will also engage in post-silicon efforts to support productization and enhance customer experiences.
Requirements
- BS degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
- Experience within a SoC design cycle, developing circuits and SRAM/Register File for low power, low voltage, and high performance.
- Knowledge of Cache design/architecture and memory hierarchy.
- Working knowledge of RTL modeling.
- Solid understanding of industry-standard design tools.
- Deep understanding of nanometer device physics and leakage mechanisms.
- Ability to devise experiments and analyze data for silicon debug.
- Familiarity with Machine Learning algorithms and scripting is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM design.
- Work with a logic/architecture team to formulate design specifications.
- Define architecture and topologies optimizing for power, timing, area, and yield.
- Conduct schematic capture, simulations, analysis, and margin verifications.
- Perform functional equivalency and DFT modeling.
- Collaborate with the layout team to create optimal GDS.
- Verify that extracted GDS meets design specifications.
- Conduct backend verification, including IR and EM analysis.
- Write RTL, validate use-cases, and verify against design schematics.
- Support post-silicon efforts to enable productization.
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.
