About the role

Beaverton, Oregon-based role in Apple’s mixed-signal silicon design team focusing on RTL design, verification, and bring-up of digital and mixed-signal blocks with DSP capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • RTL Design & Implementation: Develop and optimize RTL code in Verilog/SystemVerilog for mixed-signal digital blocks and signal processing pipelines
  • DSP Algorithm Translation: Collaborate with algorithm engineers to translate DSP concepts (filtering, transforms, modulation, signal analysis) into efficient, high-performance RTL implementations
  • Design Verification: Write comprehensive assertions, unit-level testbenches, and participate in functional verification using industry-standard methodologies
  • Integration & Bring-up: Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate complex IPs, validate performance in silicon, and support lab characterization
  • Collaborative Problem-Solving: Work effectively with analog designers, algorithm engineers, verification specialists, and system architects across disciplinary boundaries

Qualifications

  • Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering.
  • Front-end tools expertise (Verilog simulators, linters, clock-domain crossing checkers)
  • Synthesis, static timing analysis, and design-for-test (DFT)
  • SystemVerilog assertions, checkers, and advanced verification techniques
  • Scripting languages (Perl, Python)
  • Formal verification and low-power design methodologies
  • Hardware-software co-design and system-level optimization
  • Hands-on DSP experience: signal processing concepts, RTL algorithm implementation, hardware optimization techniques (pipelining, parallelization, resource sharing)
  • Intermediate to advanced GenAI proficiency: Using AI tools for SystemVerilog design, validation, optimization, and understanding GenAI capabilities/limitations in hardware design
