As part of our Silicon Engineering group, you will take imaginative and revolutionary ideas and determine how to turn them into reality! You and your team will apply engineering fundamentals and start from scratch if needed, bringing forward-thinking ideas to the real world. Join us, and you will help design products that bring to our customers experiences they've never before envisioned!
You will be part of an exciting silicon design group that is responsible for designing state-of-the-art ASICs. We have an extraordinary opportunity for Validation Engineers.
The SoC hardware development team is looking for a motivated engineer to fill a full-time position. The primary role is to engage in power hardware validation and analysis of typical SoC workloads. The analysis of the workloads and their power dissipation will help drive the power optimization efforts to achieve best-in-class power/performance.
Description
Imagine yourself at the center of our SOC design effort, collaborating with all fields, playing a strategic role of getting functional products to millions of customers quickly. You will have the opportunity to integrate and come-up with new ideas, as well as work with a team of industrious engineers. As a member of the SoC power team, you will get involved in the power validation efforts of mobile SoCs.
The main responsibilities of this role are:
- Measure in silicon power dissipation of typical workloads (e.g., video streaming, video recording, etc.), analyze data, and correlate measurements with simulation results.
- Have a close collaboration with design, architecture, systems, and software teams, hence strong communication and teamwork skills are essential.
- Perform silicon power measurements and correlate with simulations/projections.
- Work with multi-functional teams to enable use-case power measurements.
- Improve use-case energy efficiency through tuning of hardware and software settings.
- Improve power measurement infrastructure.
Preferred Qualifications
We are looking for applicants with experience in phenomenal programming skills and understanding of low-power digital design and power fundamentals, including:
- Expertise on C/Assembly programming and associated tool chains.
- Use of basic lab equipment such as multi-meter units, oscilloscopes, etc.
- Calculations for dynamic and static power in CMOS.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work as a team.
Minimum Qualifications
A minimum of a bachelor's degree in relevant field and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
Pay & Benefits
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $142,300 and $263,300, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs.
