This role at Apple involves working with leads and architecture teams to define and develop RTL design for CPU-based SoCs. The position requires collaboration with other designers to ensure high-quality results and timely delivery of designs. The focus is on optimizing power and performance while integrating common IP blocks. Candidates will also be responsible for completing front-end synthesis and ensuring timing requirements are met.

• Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 2 years of experience in RTL design utilizing System Verilog or Verilog
• Experience with CDC tools and knowledge of multiple clock domains
• Familiarity with AMBA protocols, such as AHB
• Proficiency in using industry standard simulation tools for verification
• Experience in configuring and integrating digital and analog IPs into an SoC
• Ability to analyze timing and resolve timing violations at digital-analog interfaces
• Experience with LINT tools to ensure RTL coding meets industry guidelines
• Experience in validating and debugging system silicon functionality during chip bring-up

• Work with leads and architecture teams to define the design microarchitecture
• Develop RTL design of one or more blocks following established design guidelines
• Own all aspects of RTL development design
• Collaborate with other designers to deliver results
• Integrate common/shared IP blocks and optimize memories/hard macros
• Complete front-end synthesis and STA to ensure timing for the block is met
• Optimize power and performance of the designs
• Incorporate proper checks at every stage of the design process
