About the role

ASIC Design Engineer in the Pixel IP design team focused on high-performance, low-power pixel processing engines for capturing, improving, compressing, decompressing, and displaying digital images and video for Apple SoCs.

Responsibilities

  • Design digital hardware by writing high-quality RTL or using a high-level synthesis methodology, with embedded assertions and cover points.
  • Writing detailed micro-architectural specifications.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to explore solutions that maximize performance while minimizing power and area.
  • Synthesizing your design and optimize for power, timing, and area.
  • Working closely with design verification and formal verification teams to debug and verify functionality and performance.

Qualifications

  • Bachelors Degree in EE/CE and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in SoC front-end ASIC RTL digital logic design using Verilog or System Verilog.
  • Prefer previous experience in media, video, pixel, or display designs.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with architecture, design, and verification teams to specify, design, and debug designs.
  • Good collaboration skills with strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Familiarity with low-power design techniques such as clock- and power-gating is a plus.
  • Prefer familiarity with common on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB).
  • Experience in front-end implementation tasks such as synthesis, timing, area/power analysis, linting, CDC/RDC, logic equivalence checks.
  • Industry exposure to and knowledge of ASIC/FPGA design methodology including familiarity with relevant scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL).
