Wireless MAC Design Engineer

Summary

Posted: Jan 14, 2025

Role Number:200586834

Come join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development effort, with its emphasis on highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically coordinated engineering team spanning Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, digital RTL design and integration, RF/Analog architecture and design, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.

Description

– You will prepare microarchitecture and RTL for digital logic of the wireless MAC based on a set of functional requirements – You will participate in HW/SW partitioning discussions with the SW and FW engineering teams – You will work with physical design, DFT, Power, and CAD teams to complete and deliver completed MAC IP for SoC integration. – You will support verification/prototyping/emulation teams during pre-silicon verification, prototyping, and SW/FW development. – You will support post-silicon validation, system integration, and debug efforts and attend to any required silicon design revisions.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Very strong digital logic design fundamentals
• Demonstrated experience in translating functional requirements into synthesizable Verilog or SystemVerilog RTL
• Knowledge of digital design flows such as RTL simulation and debug, synthesis, lint, STA, and LEC
• Ability to design multi-clock-domain logic and resolve CDC problems
• 3+ years of experience in ASIC microarchitecture and RTL design
• Excellent organization skills
• Excellent communication skills – both written and oral
• Understanding wireless standards, such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, Bluetooth or 3GPP is a plus
• Understanding of ASIC low power design techniques, e.g. multiple supply domains configuration and management, dynamic power/clock scaling and power analysis is a plus
