Apple Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, 02254
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Dynamic, intelligent people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with all Apple Hardware products. The same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices, strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. Do you want to join us in these pursuits? Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product!Apple’s Silicon Engineering Group (SEG) designs high-performance, low power microprocessors that power our innovative products, including the iPhone, iPad, Watch, Vision Pro, and Mac. We are looking for an experienced technical leader to drive CPU multi-level cache subsystem architecture and RTL development for multi-processor systems.Key Qualifications
Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experienceThorough knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in one or more of the following areas:Coherence protocols and interconnectsHigh performance (low latency, high bandwidth) design techniquesMemory subsystem queuing, scheduling; starvation and deadlock avoidanceMultiple clock/power domains and power management strategiesDebug capabilitiesDFT strategiesError detection and correctionKnowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL. Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools.Knowledge of logic design principles along with timing and power implicationsUnderstanding of low power microarchitecture techniquesUnderstanding of high-performance techniques and trade-offs in a CPU microarchitectureExperience in C or C++ programmingExperience using an interpretive language such as Perl or PythonDescription
As a CPU RTL Architect, you will own or participate in the following:Micro-architecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration, through micro-architectural research and arriving at a detailed specification.RTL ownership - development, assessment and refinement of RTL design to target power, performance, area and timing goals.Verification - support the verification team in test bench development, formal methods, and simulation/emulation for functional verification.Performance exploration and correlation - explore high-performance strategies and work with the performance verification team to verify that the RTL design meets targeted performance.Design delivery - work with a multi-functional engineering team to implement and verify physical design on the aspects of timing, area, reliability, testability, and power.Education & Experience
Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
