ASIC Design Engineer - Fabric/Interconnect

Summary
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, phenomenal ideas have a way of becoming phenomenal products, services, and customer experiences very quickly.

Apple is owning the charge in dedication mobile computing with innovative SOC's announced with each of its revolutionary new product offerings. At the core of all Apple mobile SOC's, is an on-chip system interconnect bus that supplies the SOC agents with their requested load and store data from on chip and off chip memories. With every generation the max bandwidth, the lowest latency, the lowest area, and lowest power requirements are more exacting and require sophisticated planning in order to achieve on Apple's schedules!

Be part of the team creating the architecture and design for the on-chip system interconnect bus for next generation Apple SOC's!

Key Qualifications
Extensive experience in front-end ASIC RTL digital logic design using Verilog or System Verilog
Tight-knit collaboration skills with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Familiar with multiple power domains, multiple clock domains and asynchronous interfaces.
Strong understanding of flow control, arbitration, on-chip interconnects, QoS, topology, and performance analysis
Experience implementation tasks such as synthesis, timing, area/power analysis, linting, CDC/RDC, logic equivalence checks.
Power and clock management designs desirable
Familiarity on flow automation scripts using Perl, Python, Makefile and shell scripts
Experience in ASIC IP development using extensive flow automation a plus

Description
As a member of the SoC Design team, you will be responsible for the following:
