Hardware Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have design experience including logic synthesis — you've worked on complex projects that require a deep understanding of GPU architecture and design principles. Your proficiency in SystemVerilog or VHDL allows you to contribute effectively to the development of micro-architecture and RTL for critical IP. You possess strong problem-solving skills and can work across team boundaries, thriving under aggressive schedules.

Your understanding of computer architecture is solid, and you have a basic understanding of physical design — this knowledge enables you to identify optimization opportunities that span multiple units within the GPU. Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, or Tcl is a plus, as it enhances your ability to automate tasks and improve workflows.

What you'll do

In this role, you will be responsible for micro-architecture development for owned IP and system-level improvements — your work will directly influence the performance and efficiency of the GPU. You will engage in IP design and synthesis for the blocks you own, ensuring that they meet the required performance, feature, timing, area, and power goals. Your contributions will extend to the complete design flow for your IP, from concept through physical design handoff.

You will collaborate closely with graphics architecture, functional verification, and physical design teams to deliver high-quality graphics IP. Your unique position within the GPU design team will allow you to identify and drive micro-architectural improvements across the entire GPU, leveraging your holistic system-level perspective. You will also contribute to GPU-level assembly and integration, ensuring that all components work seamlessly together.

What we offer

At Apple, you will be part of a team that values innovation and collaboration. We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, along with opportunities for professional growth and development. You will work in a dynamic environment where your contributions will have a significant impact on the future of GPU technology. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — we believe in the potential of every candidate.
