Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something - you’ll add something.\nDo you have a passion for innovation and technical excellence? Do you thrive on solving complex problems that push the boundaries of what's possible? Join our team to verify innovative, high-throughput cellular baseband modems and transceiver link controllers that power communication for millions of users worldwide.\nDescription\nAs a Design Verification Engineer, you'll be at the center of our silicon design group's verification efforts, ensuring the quality and reliability of next-generation cellular systems. Working on innovative baseband modems and RF link controllers for Apple's SOCs, you'll craft highly reusable UVM verification environments that set the standard for quality and efficiency. You'll develop comprehensive coverage-driven and directed test cases that thoroughly validate complex IP and subsystem designs, working closely with multi-functional teams throughout the process.\nIn this role, you'll drive methodology innovation by deploying sophisticated tools and techniques that elevate verification practices and ensure tape-out readiness. Collaborating with product development teams across Apple, you'll help deliver cellular systems that redefine industry capabilities and enhance customer experiences globally. This position offers exceptional opportunities to deepen your expertise across cellular protocols, complex IP and subsystem architectures, advanced fabric protocols, and sophisticated debug methodologies. You'll gain experience with best-in-class design verification practices, co-verification techniques with models and firmware, and industry-standard low-power architectures.\nWe're looking for experienced engineers with hands-on ASIC design verification experience using reusable verification methodologies such as UVM. The ideal candidate excels at detailed test planning, adapts well to evolving requirements, knows the latest ML-based tools to improve productivity, and is driven to meet the highest quality standards. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to tackle the verification challenges of complex, high-performance cellular systems. If you want to contribute to products that impact customers worldwide while advancing your technical expertise, we'd love to hear from you.\nMinimum Qualifications\nKnowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM.\nExperience with SystemC, C/C++, Python/perl.\nAbility to develop and establish DV Methodologies.\nAbility to use LLMs and MCPs.\nAbility to develop Python-based automation solutions.\nUnderstanding of constraint random testing, SVA, Coverage driven verification.\nTest planning and problem-solving skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nBSc, MSc, or higher degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science, Embedded Engineering or similar\nExperience in C/C++ modeling for design verification.\nKnowledge of 4G/5G cellular physical layer operation (3GPP).\nExperience with verification of embedded processor cores.\nHands-on verification experience of Bus Fabric, NOC, AHB, AXI, based bus architecture in UVM environment.\nKnowledge of using LLMs to improve efficiency and quality of verification.\nUnderstanding of prompt engineering and LLM workflow optimization.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3797,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Operating Systems","Laptops","Smartwatches & Fitness Trackers","Tablets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T10:57:22Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":102,"reasons":["conf:2","urgency","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/apple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T17:32:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25503,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":12},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=12"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fapple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fapple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fapple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/apple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fapple-design-verification-engineer-for-cellular-baseband-mfd-2"}]}
