About the role

Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer at Apple, focused on verification of high-performance WiFi PHY digital systems, developing UVM environments, constrained random scenarios, and coverage-driven verification to ensure first-time-right silicon for multi-gigabit wireless technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Develop sophisticated UVM environments and bus functional models for complex DSP subsystems and IEEE 802.11 protocol.
  • Own subsystem verification from test planning and environment bring-up through feature closure.
  • Develop UVM testbench environments, bus functional models (BFMs), assertions, and infrastructure / DPIs to utilizing algorithm models.
  • Architect and implement constrained random scenarios exercising complex protocol interactions.
  • Apply data-driven verification closure through coverage tracking, issue tracking, gap identification, and metrics.
  • Drive verification strategy with cross-functional Systems / Design teams to achieve coverage closure across complex domains.

Qualifications

  • BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
  • Track record of several tapeout cycles of sophisticated designs.
  • Experience verifying wireless, DSP, or digital communication systems.
  • Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog / UVM including testbench architecture, scenario creation, and coverage-driven methodologies.
  • Experience developing verification environments, bringing up complex designs, and debugging simulations.
  • Experience with constrained random testing, functional coverage implementation, and assertion-based verification.
  • Knowledge of IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols, Bluetooth, Cellular, or similar communication systems.
  • Experience with applying / integrating System models utilizing DPIs.
  • Understanding of DSP algorithms verification strategies (Bit / Cycle matching, Assertions).
  • Experience with transaction-level modeling including packet-based approaches (scoreboarding, protocols).
