About the Job

Requirements

A Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience are required.
Knowledge of interconnect fabrics and system memory hierarchy is required.
Knowledge of cache coherency protocols, including MESI, MOESI, and directory-based coherence, and memory hierarchy is preferred.
A track record of delivering large, sophisticated designs in high-volume production for low-power applications is preferred.
Working experience with synthesis, power, performance, and verification teams to develop and deliver high-quality RTL design on time is preferred.
Strong interpersonal skills for working with diverse groups within the company are preferred.
Familiarity with front-end tools, including lint, clock-domain crossing, and synthesis, is preferred.

Responsibilities

Design and integrate coherent and non-coherent fabrics into a subsystem or system-on-chip, applying knowledge of on-chip interconnect architectures such as network-on-chip topologies, crossbars, and arbitration.
Own all aspects of RTL development, including design, templating, scripting, and RTL generation.
Collaborate with other designers in the group to deliver results.
Integrate common and shared intellectual property blocks into the design and optimize memories and hard macros required for the block.
Work with front-end synthesis and static timing analysis teams to ensure the block meets timing requirements.
Work with power, performance, and functional verification teams to ensure block quality.
Coordinate with multidisciplinary groups to deliver designs on time and with high quality, incorporating appropriate checks at each stage of the design process.

Desired Qualifications

Be self-starting, highly motivated, organized, and schedule-driven.

Summary

At Apple, phenomenal ideas have a way of becoming great products and customer experiences very quickly. The industry is accustomed to Apple taping out the SOC’s for our various products at a rigorous pace. In order to achieve this, Apple’s best-in-class chip is driven by top notch design engineers who implement various blocks of the chip and deliver high quality components to SoC. This is a high transparency and critically important role and requires close working relationships with many groups and an organized approach to coordinate all tasks in parallel to hit schedules consistently with a quality design. Our position requires knowledge of interconnect fabrics and system memory hierarchy

Minimum Qualifications
