RTL Design Engineer

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people's lives. This role offers an exciting opportunity for an early-career RTL Design Engineer to join Apple's world-class mixed-signal silicon design team. You'll build a solid foundation in logic circuits while gaining exposure to analog circuits.

The position involves working on challenging technical and multi-disciplinary projects, providing insight into full custom schematics for analog and high-speed digital circuits. You'll learn to translate circuit functionality into efficient software behavioral representations, simulate code, and ensure formal equivalence between custom designs and their abstract representations.

As a team member, you'll contribute to products that impact millions of Apple customers daily. You'll learn to specify, design, and assist in verification and lab bring-up of sophisticated mixed-signal circuits (digital side). The role includes micro-architecting digital blocks, RTL coding, design verification through assertions and debugging, and participating in lab testing and analysis.

This position offers excellent growth opportunities in chip design, combining hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology. You'll work with state-of-the-art tools and methodologies while collaborating with expert teams across Apple's hardware division. The role provides a unique blend of digital and analog circuit exposure, making it ideal for those starting their silicon engineering career.

Key aspects include working with Verilog and SystemVerilog, using front-end tools, and potentially gaining experience with synthesis, static timing, and DFT. Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl and Python is valuable. The position emphasizes both technical excellence and strong communication skills, preparing you for a successful career in advanced chip design at Apple.
