Digital Design Engineer
Irvine, California, United States
Hardware
Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? Do you thrive on pushing the limits of what’s considered feasible? As part of our team, you’ll craft sophisticated digital baseband logic design in groundbreaking cellular ICs that deliver more performance in our products than ever! You’ll work across different fields to transform improved hardware elements into a single, coordinated design. Join us, and you’ll help us innovate new wireless systems technologies that continually outperform the previous iterations! By collaborating with our other product development groups across Apple, you’ll push the industry boundaries of what wireless systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers worldwide.
As a Digital IC Design Engineer on this team, you will be at the center of the digital logic design effort within a silicon design group responsible for designing and productizing innovative wireless SoCs. This position requires someone comfortable with all aspects of hardware and embedded software development, who thrives in a dynamic multi-functional organization, who is not afraid to debate ideas openly, and who is flexible enough to shift on constantly evolving requirements.
Key Qualifications
- BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
- ASIC/VLSI design experience and a track record of developing complex ASIC functions in successful products.
- Excellent microarchitecture and logic design experience, including high-speed deep sub-micron design and power management/techniques for low-power design.
- Experience with DSP hardware implementations, including data path and control logic.
- Experience with cellular physical layer protocols. 3GPP is a plus.
- Familiarity with design tools for simulation, debugging, synthesis, timing analysis, and front-end RTL checking tools (e.g., Lint, CDC/RDC, LEC, etc.).
- Expertise in Verilog RTL development.
- Familiarity with low-power design techniques at different levels is a plus.
- Knowledge of C/C++/SystemC and DSP algorithm modeling is a plus.
- Experience with backend interface, DFT, and silicon debugging pluses.
Description
In this role you will specify, design, and implement DSP hardware, including data path and control logic. You will not only directly assist in the development of logic design, including high speed deep sub-micron design and power management/techniques for low power design, but you will take part in defining and standardizing methodologies. You will define FW programming models and work towards optimizations at the cross sections of HW and FW design. You will develop golden reference models for hardware verification and FW development.
