wSoC Design Verification Engineer

As part of our team you will have the opportunity to verifying a set of complex SOCs. Our team integrates multiple sophisticated IP level DV environments craft highly reusable best-in-class UVM Testbenches implement effective coverage driven and directed test cases deploy new tools and implement methodologies to improve quality of tape-out readiness. By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple you can push the industry boundaries of what wireless systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world! You will be able to learn all aspects of a large-scale SOC different types of SOC architectures many high speed layered protocols methodologies on low power architecture best-in-class DV methodology. You will able to gain knowledge on Wireless protocol FW-HW interactions complexities of multi-chip SOC debug architecture etc. As a Design Verification Engineer on our team youll be at the center of the verification effort within our silicon design group responsible for crafting and productizing state of the art Wireless SoCs! This position comes with responsibility for pre-silicon RTL verification of block and top level SOC comfortable with all areas of SoC Design Verification engineering with an ability to thrive in a dynamic multi-functional organization debate ideas openly and deliver on complex Wireless protocol chip requirements.

Understand details of High Efficiency SOC Architecture standard SOC peripherals such as SPI I2C UART Timer DMA memory management schemes low power spec multi-processor systems DDR PCIe Memory Controller Subsystems USB PLL power up Secured Boot on Power Management designs using low-power methodologies and power up-down scenarios using UPF simulations etcnCreate coverage driven verification plans from specifications review and refine to achieve coverage UVM based highly reusable test benches and integrate complex multi-instance VIPs sub-system test benches and test suites to SOC targeted coverage work with design architecture SW FW and external IP delivery teams to efficiently integrate and verify overall SOC closely with DV methodology architects to improve verification flow.
