Junior Wireless SoC Design Verification Engineer

Apple's wireless chip powers connectivity across every new iPhone - and its successor is already taking shape. Would you like to join Apple's growing wireless silicon development team?

Our Wireless SOC organization owns every aspect 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. It is driven by a world-class, vertically integrated team spanning RF/Analog, Systems/PHY/MAC, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.

As a Wireless SOC Design Verification Engineer, you'll be at the heart of the chip design effort - owning a meaningful verification scope and growing it project to project.

You'll work alongside DV methodologists, designers, architects, communication systems engineers, and firmware engineers to build reusable testbenches and verification environments using the latest metric-driven verification methodology.

Description

You'll be responsible for pre-silicon RTL verification at the block, subsystem, and top-level SOC, taking your scope from test planning through coverage closure and signoff.

Your activity may focus at block level, subsystem level, or top-level SOC, including end-to-end simulations of the entire data/control path.

Minimum Qualifications

BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering

Solid problem-solving and debugging skills with constrained-random verification

Understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture

Self-motivated and dedicated, with proven creative thinking capabilities

Ability to handle multiple tasks and priorities work to meet deadlines

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience across the verification cycle: test planning, testbench implementation, test creation and debug, and coverage closure

Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills, with solid working knowledge of UVM and DV methodologies

Great teammate with excellent communication skills and the desire to take on diverse challenges

Experience taking at least one ASIC/SOC from concept through tape-out

Experience with MAC or PHY verification

Experience verifying IP or top-level integration for a WiFi or Bluetooth SOC, or knowledge of wireless protocols

Verification experience with PCIe, bus fabric/NOC, or AHB/AXI-based architectures in a UVM environment

Experience with low-power verification, UPF, boot-up, power-cycling, and HW/FW interaction

Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and/or formal tools (e.g., JasperGold)

Experience defining coverage space and writing coverage models

Experience with embedded CPU verification; programming in C/C++ or assembly

Scripting in Python or Perl; interest in applying AI/ML to verification workflows
