Job description

Come and join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SoC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development, emphasizing highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level. All of this is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. If you enjoy a fast-paced and challenging environment, collaborate with people across different functional areas, and thrive during crisis times, we encourage you to apply.

Description

In this role you will work on a small team designing CPU-based subsystems for high performance, low power wireless SoCs. As a member of the team, you will work closely with SoC architects and IP developers to develop SoCs that meet the power, performance, and area goals for Apple devices, with a particular focus on low power metrics. You will engage in hardware/software/power partitioning discussions alongside software, firmware, and platform engineering teams. You will integrate industry standard and custom hardware IPs into SoCs. This is a highly visible role, where you will be at the center of the ASIC design efforts, collaborating with all fields, with a critical impact in getting leading-edge products launched to delight millions of customers.

Minimum Qualifications

BS with 10+ years relevant experience.
