Design Verification Engineer for Cellular SoC (m/f/d)
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new insights 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. Hard-working people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norms here. Enter a multifunctional role as a Design Verification Engineer in our team. We are at the center of the IP and full-chip verification effort within a silicon design group responsible for verifying the state-of-the-art Cellular RF SoCs. This position requires someone comfortable to dive into HW design and verification engineering.
Description
You will need a fundamental understanding of HW and SW design as well as the eagerness to do hands-on verification. The cool thing is, once you crack the design verification world, it will potentiate your knowledge of HW/SW systems in the RF world. We will introduce you to assertion-based verification, simulation acceleration, and formal methods. You will learn special verification languages such as universal verification methodology (UVM) or formal description languages, like SVA flanked by AI-based approaches. Our team is a very strong cellular hardware design verification team with very good individual communication. You will work in a strong team setup with a lot of interpersonal interaction that will help you to get a very wide understanding of our work as well as the sub-system and system integration into RF modems. You will build metric-driven verification plans from specifications, review them, and refine them to achieve coverage targets. You will define functional verification requirements based on design requirements and architecture and develop UVM-based highly reusable test benches starting from different components over cluster into SoC levels.
Minimum Qualifications
* Proven experience in taping out SoC systems with embedded processor cores and hands-on verification experience in UVM environments.
* Strong collaborative work experience with system, design, and firmware teams.
* Verification and Validation approach as well as outstanding sense and commitment to quality of deliverables.
* A detective skill for finding bugs and weaknesses.
* Having a good view of the definition and design process of a chip.
* Holistically thinking beyond the design verification domain boundaries.
* Good interpersonal and communication skills.
* English language proficiency is required for this position.
Preferred Qualifications
* Bachelor or Master or higher degree in Electrical Engineering or Communication Engineering with extensive years of working experience or PhD in a relevant field with proven years of working experience.
* System know-how in the cellular RF transceiver domain is a plus.
* Knowledge of assertion-based verification would be nice to have.
* Knowledge of power-aware verification would be a plus.
* Ideally, you worked on: system/IP definition, system/IP validation, system/IP design, system/IP testing, or similar.
