The position requires collaboration with designers and other teams to identify and resolve bugs throughout the design verification process.

  • Knowledge of computer architecture, including pipelining, caching, and memory management
  • Experience with advanced features of SystemVerilog for design verification
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Tcl for verification automation
  • Experience in Hardware Design Specification and RTL Code Analysis
  • Knowledge of DFT principles and their application in verification

Responsibilities

  • Set up and generate collaterals for each project.
  • Conduct document specification reviews of designs with designers.
  • Perform scan dump verification at the RTL level for assigned projects.
  • Verify scan dumps for all assigned projects.
  • Conduct emulation level verification for assigned projects.
  • Conduct PAGATE level verification for all assigned projects.
  • Identify bugs and collaborate with designers to remediate issues.

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.
