In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a chip design effort collaborating with all disciplines, with a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers quickly.

Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification Engineer to join our silicon engineering team focused on the auxiliary features of a high-performance ARM-based CPU. These features include Power Management, Clock Control, Debug Infrastructure, Resets, and Special-Purpose Registers-spanning both ARM-standard capabilities and Apple-specific innovations.
• You will work across the entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon test planning to supporting post-silicon bring-up and debug when needed. This role is highly cross-functional, bridging CPU and SoC teams, and is critical to delivering robust, low-power, high-performance CPU designs.
• Work closely with architecture and RTL designers on verifying the functionality correctness of CPU Power Management, clock control, and debug logic
• Develop and execute test plans and schedules
• Write and debug tests in Assembly, SystemVerilog, SVA, C++, and scripting languages to validate functionality in simulation, emulation, and FPGA environments
• Build and maintain verification infrastructure, including checkers, transactors, and coverage monitors.
• Analyze functional coverage to ensure test plan completeness
• Identify, root-cause, and document design issues and collaborate with RTL teams to drive fixes
• Support SoC-level debug for clock and power integration issues
• Work with silicon bring-up teams to develop tests and debug issues across emulation, FPGA, and silicon. Contribute to post-silicon debug, using waveform and trace tools to diagnose complex system issues.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in processor or power management architecture and verification

Experience with system fabric protocols such as AXI

In-depth knowledge in design verification environments like random constraint verification and/or UVM base testbenches

Experience in system Verilog assertions or silicon bringup or UPF and low power simulation

Experience in processor debug features including hardware trace is a plus

Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal verification is a plus

Advanced programming skills such as object orientated programming or CPU assembly language is a plus

Should be an extraordinary teammate with excellent communication skills with the ability to articulate complex design issues during verification effort

Be able to create and follow detailed work schedules and work independently on the verification efforts for a block/area of the design

Minimum Qualifications

Minimum BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience

Programming skills in Perl/Python or SystemVerilog
