CPU RTL Engineer

Apple's Silicon Engineering Group (SEG) is seeking dedicated engineers for CPU architecture and microarchitecture development targeted for low power mobile devices. As a CPU RTL Engineer, you will be involved in various aspects of CPU design and development.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Microarchitecture development and specification - from early high-level architectural exploration to detailed specification.
2. RTL feature ownership - developing, assessing, and refining new RTL features to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals.
3. Validation - supporting test bench development and simulation for functional and performance verification.
4. Performance exploration and correlation - exploring high-performance strategies and validating that the RTL design meets targeted performance.
5. Design delivery - working with a multifunctional engineering team to implement and validate physical design aspects including timing, area, reliability, testability, and power.

The ideal candidate will have:

• A minimum of a BS degree
• Knowledge of Verilog or VHDL
• Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools
• Understanding of logic design principles
• Knowledge of microprocessor architecture, including instruction fetch and decode, branch prediction, instruction scheduling, register renaming, out-of-order execution, integer and floating point execution, load/store execution, and cache and memory subsystems
• Understanding of timing, power, and area tradeoffs in CPU microarchitecture
• Experience with low power and high-performance microarchitecture techniques
• Familiarity with interpretive languages such as Perl or Python

At Apple, you'll have the opportunity to work on groundbreaking products and be part of a team that has reinvented entire industries. The company values innovation, dedication, and passion, offering a dynamic work environment where new ideas can quickly become extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences.
