Asic Design Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have 3+ years of full-time ASIC design experience, particularly in memory system development and RTL/micro-architecture definition. Your expertise includes performance, power, and area (PPA) analysis, which is crucial for optimizing high-performance systems. You hold a B.S. in a relevant field, and your background in cache design gives you a solid understanding of various memory organizations and their trade-offs.

You are familiar with multi-processor cache coherence protocols and have knowledge of high-performance coherent memory systems or interconnect architectures. Your experience with high-performance DRAM controllers further enhances your qualifications for this role. An M.S. in a relevant field is preferred, showcasing your commitment to advancing your knowledge in this area.

What you'll do

In this role, you will design and develop hardware for the cache subsystem in high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. You will be responsible for developing cache micro-architecture based on architectural guidelines and model analysis, ensuring that the design meets the required performance metrics. Your work will involve exploring architecture trade-offs in system performance, area, and power consumption, which are critical for the success of the projects.

You will develop and debug register-transfer level (RTL) designs for various sections of the cache subsystem, collaborating closely with the physical design team to achieve timing closure. Your contributions will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of Apple's mobile processing systems, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in high-bandwidth multi-client memory subsystems.

What we offer

Apple is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. You will be part of a team that is at the forefront of technology, working on innovative solutions that redefine mobile processing. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement, as we value diverse perspectives and backgrounds. Join us in building the future of mobile technology.
