San Diego, California, United States Apple Full-time
Would you like to join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development team? Our wireless SoC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development with a particular 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 integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Design Verification, Emulation, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.

In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group with a critical impact on delivering world-class silicon to empower wireless products for hundreds of millions of customers. As a Wireless Design Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for pre-silicon RTL verification of wireless MAC and its interfaces with the rest of the wireless SoC. You will interact with DV methodologists, designers, and communication systems engineers to develop reusable testbench and verification environment deploying the latest methodology with metric-driven verification, ensuring the highest design quality.

Work closely with the system and design teams to review and understand the MAC subsystem microarchitecture, and create verification plan from specification, review and refine to achieve coverage targets.\\nBuild block/subsystem level testbenches, create UVM libraries, using the best-in-class DV methodology. Architect test benches with maximum reusability in mind.\\nDevelop and execute both directed and constrained random tests, debug failures, manage bug tracking, and work with designers to drive closure of issues found.\\nCreate and analyze block/subsystem-level coverage models, and add test cases to increase coverage.\\nUse machine learning and AI technologies to identify design and test bench issues and ensure DV quality.\\nSupport MAC subsystem validation using Palladium and/or FPGA.\\nWork with team members to improve DV methodology and flow.

Minimum requirement of a bachelor"s degree.

3+ years of verification experience of wireless/wired communication block/subsystem.\\nAdvanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion.\\nKnowledge and experience of ASIC verification flows including test bench development, constrained random testing, and code/functional coverage.\\nVerification experience of one or more of the following: MAC, PHY, DMA, timer, AMBA bus and fabric, encryption/decryption engine.\\nVerification experience of wireless/wired communication block/subsystem.\\nKnowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee.\\nProficient in shell and Python scripting, Perl scripting.\\nExperience of using AI technologies in data mining/analysis.\\nExperience of Palladium/FPGA validation.\\nShould be a team player with excellent communication skills, self-motivated and well organized.
