Digital Design Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn’t have imagined, and now, can’t imagine living without. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. Develop detailed design architecture and microarchitecture specifications for high speed SerDes links and controllers for industry standard protocols and other high-speed wireless communication IPs. Write RTL (SystemVerilog) code for hardware descriptions and work with the design verification team to verify the hardware designs, design accuracy and design specifications independently and be able to deliver the complete design collaterals. Design, implement, and debug complex logic designs to optimize performance, power and area. Apply knowledge of ASIC design and integration flows related to power, STA, CDC, RDC, DFT to ensure the quality of the design and IP integration. Work with verification and integration engineers to ensure proper implementation and integration of their design. Develop and maintain methodology and flows related to timing verification and closure to ensure the IPs work under different technology and corners. Support other teams across Apple: verification, system, power analysis, software, firmware, architecture, physical design, etc. Collaborate with other teams including STA, power and physical design team to ensure designs meet power, frequency and area goals by reviewing timing constraints and timing reports, reviewing and optimizing power consumption for both dynamic and static power, and optimize design areas. Collaborate with software and firmware team on correct configuration and settings to the hardware. Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
