Job description

Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You’ll 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, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices! The GPU Design Verification Engineer will be responsible for the pre-silicon RTL verification of sub-units in the Apple GPU. This includes deep understanding of the micro-architectural details of their block and how it works within the broader GPU design. A strong computer architecture background, and a solid foundation in verification methodology is required.

Description

In this role you will:

- Develop verification plans in coordination with design leads and architects.

- Build and maintain portable verification test bench components and environments.

- Generate directed and constrained random tests.

- Run simulations and debug design and environment issues.

- Create functional coverage points, analyze coverage, and improve test environment to target coverage holes.

- Create automated verification flows for block verification.

- Apply knowledge of hardware description languages (VHDL/Verilog) to verify complex designs.

- Work with other block, subsystem and chip level engineers to ensure seamless verification flow.

Minimum Qualifications

Previous design verification experience required
Experience developing unit or cluster level test environments
BS + 10 years of relevant experience

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with verification languages such as SystemVerilog
Experience with HDL simulators and waveform viewers.
Experience with GPU unit testing highly desired.
Understanding of the Graphics Pipeline a plus
Experience defining and executing unit level test plans.
Experience with common verification methodologies such as UVM.
Experience defining coverage space, writing coverage and coverage closure
Solid fundamental software and programming skills
Experience with Perl, Ruby, Shell scripting, Makefiles

About this role

Summary
