Design Integration Engineer

SummaryPosted : Role Number : 200542998Come 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.

DescriptionAs a Design Integration Engineer, you will be involved with all phases of implementing high performance, low power wireless SoCs from RTL to delivery of our final GDSII.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to : - Generate chip or block level static timing constraints. - Synthesize design with UPF / DFT / BIST.

• Close timing on critical blocks by working with design and PD teams. - Perform timing optimization and implement the design for functionality.
• Generate and implement functional ECOs. - Run static timing analysis flows at chip / block level and provide guidelines to fix violations to other designers.
• Participate in establishing / improving CAD and design flow methodologies.- Work with multi-disciplinary groups to make sure designs are delivered on time and with the highest quality by incorporating proper checks at every stage of the design process.

Key QualificationsKnowledge of the ASIC design flow, synthesis, static timing analysis, scripting, and netlist generation.

Understanding of UPF and low-power design & implementation techniques.Hands-on experience in timing / SDC constraints generation, analysis, and management.

Knowledge of timing corners, operating modes, process variations, and signal integrity-related issues.Exposure to industry standard Timing, Logic Equivalence, Physical Design and Synthesis tools.

Knowledge of basic SoC Architecture and HDL languages like Verilog to collaborate with our logic design team for timing fixes and functional ECOs.

Experience with script-based tool automation and familiarity with API’s and scripting languages such as Perl / Tcl is a plus.

Education & ExperienceBS with 10+ years relevant experience required. MS preferred.Pay & BenefitsAt Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range.
