About the Role
Join Apple's Silicon Engineering Group (SEG) to deliver groundbreaking CPU block-level implementation. You will work with micro-architects to define micro-architecture, drive RTL-to-GDS design convergence, and ensure block-level design delivery.
Responsibilities
- Work with micro-architects to help define the micro-architecture and assist with design feasibility and power, performance, and area (PPA) trade-offs
- Drive RTL-to-GDS design convergence through microarchitecture and logic (RTL) optimizations using synthesis and place-and-route tools targeting ambitious goals for PPA
- Responsible for block-level design delivery along with closure of backend flows, electrical requirements, and improving silicon yield
- Work closely with internal CAD and PD methodology teams on industry-standard synthesis/PNR tool features and optimizations and their adoption in CPU design
- Work with x-functional top-level teams on the aspects of CPU floorplan, timing, power, reliability, and testability
- Work closely with custom IP teams to define and co-optimize memory macros, library standard cells to improve design PPA
