Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? As part of our Hardware Technologies group, you’ll help design our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient system-on-chips (SoCs). You will 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, we 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.
As an ASIC Design Engineer in the Pixel IP design team, you will work closely with many cross-functional teams (chip integration, physical design, power, logic design, and verification) to build high performance and low power pixel processing engines. Your expertise in integrating large systems-on-a-chip, low-power design techniques, and front-end implementation will enable the team to deliver high performance and low power pixel processing engines on time.
In this front-end design role, your tasks will include:
• Integrate large pixel-processing subsystems using SystemVerilog, connecting to high-performance on-chip networks using virtual memory addressing, adding Design-For-Test (DFT) logic, and managing clocks, resets, and power domains.
• Writing detailed micro-architectural specifications.
• Performing front-end implementation, including logic synthesis, clock & reset domain-crossing checks, static timing analysis, power analysis, logic equivalence checking.
• Working with Physical Design teams for physical floorplanning and timing closure.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to explore solutions that maximize performance while minimizing power and area.
• Working closely with design verification and formal verification teams to debug and verify functionality and performance.
