About the role

SRAM Circuit Designer for the Digital Custom Group (DCG) at Apple, contributing to high-performance silicon design (e.g., M1, A14 Bionic) and influencing CPU/GPU/SoC/Neural Engine/Camera designs. Responsibilities span from concept to post-silicon support, with an emphasis on low-power, high-performance SRAM design within an SoC context.

Responsibilities

  • - Design and implement custom digital circuits for SRAM design.
  • - Work with an extraordinary logic/architecture team to formulate design specifications.
  • - Define architecture/topologies optimizing for power, timing, area and yield.
  • - Schematic capture, simulations/analysis, margin verifications.
  • - Functional equivalency and DFT modeling.
  • - Work with layout team to create optimal GDS.
  • - Verify extracted GDS meets design specifications.
  • - Backend verification, IR/EM.
  • - Write RTL, validate use-cases, verify against design schematics.
  • - Support post-silicon effort to enable productization.

Qualifications

  • - BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
  • - Experience within an SoC design cycle, developing circuits and SRAM/Register File for low power, low voltage and high performance.
  • - Knowledge of Cache design/architecture, memory hierarchy (huge plus).
  • - Working knowledge of RTL modeling.
  • - Solid understanding of industry-standard design tools.
  • - Deep understanding of nanometer device physics, leakage mechanisms, technology interactions with device behavior.
  • - Ability to devise experiments and analyze data for silicon debug.
  • - Machine Learning algorithms (ML) and scripting is a big plus.
