About the role

CPU Technology Feasibility Implementation Engineer at Apple’s Silicon Engineering Group (SEG) focusing on early-design phase technology evaluation to maximize PPA benefit through RTL-to-GDS flows, PD experiments, and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Understanding new process technology and PPA trends
  • Driving RTL-to-GDS flow through synthesis/place-and-route for technology evaluation experiments
  • Analyzing PD results and identifying areas for improvements to maximize PPA benefit by new processes in technology, library/memory design, PD tools/methodology, RTL, etc.
  • Working with multi-functional engineering teams to resolve technology-related issues or improve PPA further
  • Performing and analyzing various PD experiments with new process technology to understand how to achieve high targets for performance, power, and area

Qualifications

  • Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Experience with synthesis, PnR and clock flow, and PPA optimizations
  • The ideal candidate will have implementation experience on high-performance CPU designs
  • Deep understanding of process technology and its evaluation
  • Deep understanding of power, performance, and area tradeoffs
  • Deep knowledge of CPU microarchitecture including common critical loops for timing and understanding of low power microarchitecture and implementation techniques for CPUs
  • Understanding of static timing and critical path closure techniques
