Codec Modeling Engineer - Platform Architecture

Summary
Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Are you a big-picture visionary who understands how each element affects all the others? At Apple, our Architecture group is responsible for connecting our hardware and software into one unified system. Join this team, and you'll collaborate with engineers across Apple to design how all of our technologies work in unison. In this role, you will be part of the Media IP Architecture team to define, architect, design, implement and deploy models for HW media IP including video encoder, decoder, video and display processors.



Description
As a Codec Modeling Engineer, you will be responsible for developing, integrating and maintaining software models for various video encoder, decoder and display/video processing IPs. Responsibilities will include:

- Define, document and implement C/C++ bit-accurate and transaction level models with chip and media IP architecture teams

- Collaborate with design and verification teams to define C-model interfaces for validation and debug

- Work with the SOC performance team to model memory latency and IP performance

- Work with the SOC modeling team to integrate the IPs in full SOC models

- Work with the Video Codec firmware team to model/integrate frame-level video encoding algorithms on top of the C-model

- Develop and run benchmarks for encoder video quality assessment and optimization
