About the role
Engineering role focused on integrating IPs and RTL within a SoC, with responsibilities spanning integration, verification support, build systems, constraints, timing closure, and collaboration across design and physical teams in Apple's hardware organization.
Responsibilities
- IP Integration: Integrate third-party or internal IP blocks (e.g., CPU, GPU, memory controllers, custom logic) into a SoC.
- RTL Integration: Manage and merge RTL codebases, ensure connectivity and bus/interface protocols (e.g., AMBA, AXI, AHB) are correctly implemented.
- Top-Level Assembly: Create and maintain top-level SoC RTL, wrappers, and interconnects.
- Linting and Synthesis: Run and debug lint, CDC/RDC, and logic synthesis to ensure design quality.
- Build and Test Infrastructure: Develop and maintain automated build and regression systems for integration.
- Design Constraints: Define and validate synthesis and timing constraints (SDC files).
- Timing Closure: Work closely with physical design and STA teams to achieve timing closure at top level.
- Functional Verification Support: Provide integration-level support to design verification teams, including simulation bring-up and debug.
- Documentation and Reviews: Create and maintain design documents and participate in design reviews.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's Degree with +3 Years of Experience
- Solid understanding of digital logic design and RTL development (SystemVerilog, Verilog).
- Familiarity with SoC design flows and tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence).
- Experience with bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and interface standards (PCIe, USB, DDR).
- Knowledge of ASIC tool flows: lint, synthesis, CDC, DFT, STA.
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell) for automation.
- Good debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.
