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. This role focuses on designing and implementing custom digital circuits for SRAM, collaborating with a talented team to optimize architecture and performance. You will play a critical role in delivering high-performance chips like the M1 and A14 Bionic, influencing CPU, GPU, and SoC designs. Your work will directly impact the speed and efficiency of product development, enabling groundbreaking customer experiences.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
- A minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
- Experience within a SoC design cycle.
- Knowledge of Cache design and memory hierarchy is a huge plus.
- 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 big plus.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM design.
- Collaborate with the logic and 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.
- Work 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.
