Description For Design Verification Engineer

Does making the next great technology product excite you? At Apple, our new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. As a Design Verification Engineer, you'll be responsible for verifying the functionality and performance of Apple's premier SOCs. This is a critical job within Apple's Hardware Technology organization.

As part of a dedicated team, you'll be at the heart of the chip design effort collaborating across all fields. You'll own ensuring the quality of the SOC or an IP or subsystem, reviewing design and architecture specifications while working closely with design & micro-architecture teams. You'll develop test plans, tests & coverage plans, and define next-generation verification methodology & testbenches.

The role involves working with various IP types including:

  • Neural Engine hardware
  • DRAM subsystem and memory controller logic
  • Encode/Decode systems for ProRes and other codec formats
  • Hardware security and cryptographic implementations
  • High-Speed IO standards (PCI Express, DisplayPort, MIPI)
  • Power management and fabric infrastructure
  • Memory cache management
  • Display Subsystem

You'll have the opportunity to either focus deeply on one main IP or expand your breadth across multiple subsystems. The position requires strong technical skills in digital verification, SystemVerilog, computer architecture, and programming abilities in languages like Python and C++.
