This role at Apple involves working with the logic design team to drive physical aspects of design early in the cycle. The focus is on completing netlist to GDS2 implementations while meeting design goals and schedules. The position requires collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure proper design bring-up and verification. Candidates will resolve design and flow issues related to physical design and drive execution of solutions.

• Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field
• 1 year of experience in the job offered or related occupation
• Experience with scripting in TCL, Python, or Perl for automation of PNR flows
• Understanding of Place and Route (PNR) flows for physical realization of logic functions
• Utilization of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools for PNR activity
• Experience with Static Timing Analysis (STA) to ensure timing requirements are met
• Knowledge of Electromigration and IR Analysis (EMIR) for design power structures
• Experience with Physical Design Verification (PDV) for manufacturability
• Understanding of Design for Test (DFT) and its impact on design requirements
• Experience in digital circuit design

• Work with the logic design team to understand partition architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle.
• Complete netlist to GDS2 implementation for partitions while meeting schedule and design goals.
• Drive the signoff closure for the partitions through timing, physical, and electrical verification.
• Resolve design and flow issues related to physical design and identify potential solutions.
• Communicate with cross-functional teams like power and DFT to ensure proper design bring-up.
• Ensure proper pin assignment and floor planning agreement with various partition owners.
