Experienced Cellular IP Design Engineer (m/f/d)
AppleMunich, Bavaria-Bayern, GermanyHardwareMid
Apply In this role, you will be a key part of the Cellular SoC IP team in Munich or Linz. As an IP Design engineer, you are responsible for developing highly customized hardware IPs for digital signal processing and integrating IPs into SoCs. You will work closely with SoC architects, System engineers, Design verification, Silicon validation teams, STA/DFT/Power specialists, and Physical designers to develop IPs & SoCs that meet Apple devices’ power, performance, and area goals.
As a Cellular design engineer, you will be developing, integrating & verifying IP sub-components for a cellular transceiver System on a Chip. You would be responsible for defining and driving the implementation, timing closure, and power optimizations in close collaboration with a multi-disciplinary group from system, digital, analog & firmware design, to design verification, and physical design teams, which will support your daily work. Your work will not be limited to design. It will cover end-to-end responsibility across the project lifecycle for the IPs developed from concept to design, verification, integration, silicon validation, and finally, in-field operation.
- Experienced with crafting low-power customized hardware for digital signal processing. Understanding of signal processing principles. Abstract modeling skills for synthesis and simulation using modern modeling language. (Verilog / System Verilog).
- Advanced hands-on experience in multiple sophisticated ASIC or FPGA designs, spanning from concept to productization.
- Good hands-on experience with digital logic design and quality checks, such as Lint and CDC/RDC.
- Proficient in using (System)Verilog, the ability to analyze RTL/Netlist designs, and outstanding debugging skills to solve technical challenges.
- Familiar with day-to-day usage of scripting languages (e.g., TCL, Python, Perl, shell), Linux, and revision control systems (e.g., Perforce), database management, and releases.
- Passion for owning/driving design topics using well-defined metrics, a strong initiative, and ownership of responsibilities, productive, and able to meet daring deadlines.
- Advanced interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate abstract concepts to different stakeholders. Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to find effective technical solutions between partners in RTL design, Firmware, System Engineering, Power, and Physical Design teams.
- English language proficiency is a requirement for this position.
- Experience with on-chip communication buses & fabrics like AMBA/Wishbone and processor sub-systems would be a plus.
- Experience with SystemC/C++ hardware design modeling, high-level synthesis, and logical synthesis would be desirable.
- Experience applying Machine Learning or AI techniques to optimize digital hardware design processes and workflows (e.g., RTL generation, power/timing optimization, design space exploration, or design flow automation).
- A bachelor's or master’s, or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Science/ Software Engineering, or equivalent, paired with extensive years of industry work experience.
