SoC DRAM Memory Subsystem Validation Engineering Program Manager

Summary :

Come and join the team that crafted the M3 / M4! Apple makes the greatest SoCs in the world; to do that takes thousands of employees, multiple years and very significant R&D spending.

To make the best use of those employees, time, and money requires excellent methodologies and structures. As we continue to expand and mature, the processes used to develop these SOCs must be improved.

Join us to do your life’s best work in this rare opportunity to help define the next big thing that will surprise and delight the world!As a SoC DRAM Memory Subsystem Validation and Debug Program Manager, you will drive the memory subsystem readiness for our custom SoCs.

Our high-bandwidth multi-client memory subsystems are blazing new territory with every generation. Your charter will include managing bring-up, validation, and the complicated debug of our groundbreaking memory subsystem.

You will also help craft the DRAM industry’s mobile roadmap and drive innovative DRAM technologies to accompany SoC’s across Apple’s product lines.

In this multifaceted role, you will be the critical interface between Apple’s DRAM architecture, Memory Controller Design and DV, DDR PHY, DRAM product engineering and software teams to ensure these advanced memory technologies are delivered from architecture to mass production to Apple’s industry leading quality standards.
