Hardware Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a strong background in hardware engineering, particularly in CPU design and implementation. Your experience includes working with micro-architects to define micro-architecture and assess design feasibility, focusing on power, performance, and area (PPA) trade-offs. You are proficient in programming languages such as C, C++, and Python, which you have used to optimize designs and drive RTL-to-GDS design convergence.

You understand the intricacies of block-level design delivery and are familiar with backend flows, electrical requirements, and improving silicon yield. Your collaborative nature allows you to work effectively with cross-functional teams, ensuring that aspects of CPU floorplan, timing, power, reliability, and testability are addressed.

Desirable

Experience with industry-standard synthesis and place-and-route tools is a plus, as is familiarity with CAD and PD methodology teams. You are eager to adopt new tool features and optimizations in CPU design, contributing to the overall success of the engineering group.

What you'll do

In this role, you will be responsible for driving block-level design delivery and ensuring closure of backend flows. You will collaborate closely with micro-architects to define the micro-architecture and assist in evaluating design feasibility. Your work will involve optimizing designs using synthesis and place-and-route tools, targeting ambitious goals for power, performance, and area.

You will also engage with internal CAD and PD methodology teams to enhance the adoption of industry-standard tools and features in CPU design. Your contributions will directly impact the performance and reliability of Apple’s groundbreaking products, as you work on the aspects of CPU floorplan, timing, power, reliability, and testability.
