About the Role

Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you'll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You'll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple's devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices.

In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of the Pixel IP design effort to capture and display beautiful images and video. You will collaborate with all disciplines, making a critical impact getting functional products to millions of customers quickly!

Description

As an ASIC Design Engineer in the Pixel IP design team, we work closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to build high performance and low power pixel processing engines. Apply your knowledge of computer architecture and digital design to create digital signal processing pipelines for capturing, improving, compressing, decompressing, and displaying digital still images and video!

In this front-end design role, your tasks will include:

• Perform digital hardware design by writing high-quality RTL, with embedded assertions and cover points.
• Coding high-quality RTL, with embedded assertions and cover points.
• Writing detailed micro-architectural specifications.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to explore solutions that improve performance while minimizing power and area.
• Working closely with design verification and formal verification teams to debug and verify functionality and performance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience in media, video, pixel, or display designs.
• Experience in SoC front-end ASIC RTL digital logic design with using Verilog or System Verilog.
• 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.
• 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, and logic equivalence checks.
• Industry exposure to and knowledge of ASIC/FPGA design methodology including familiarity with and AI/ML applications, relevant scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL).

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree in EE/CE with +10 Years of Experience.
