Practical experience with network-on-chip architecture and design is a big plus
Ability to study a problem in depth, design experiments, analyze data, and present results
Examples of substantial HW or SW projects brought to completion
Experience with Cellular/5G modem architecture is a plus
Strong communication and documentation skills

Description
You will help create a full-chip C++ simulator for iPhone/iPad/Mac/Watch SoCs. You will model new, emerging workloads such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Machine Learning (ML). You will use these models to study a range of performance and power trade-offs in our SoCs. Your work will be highly visible and critical for driving architecture improvements in Apple's future products.

Your responsibilities will include:

Learning about the state of the art in SoC IP and chip-level architecture including network-on-chip
C++ modeling of graphics, camera, and ML dataflow, network-on-chip and integration with other SoC models
Running performance simulation of future applications
Careful analysis and presentation of simulation results
Tuning and validating future SoC HW/SW for the best user experience
Collaboration with cross-functional modeling, hardware, and software teams
Some international travel is required for this position

Education & Experience
BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
