Apple is building the world's fastest highly parallel mobile processing systems. Our high-bandwidth multi-client memory subsystems are blazing new territory with every generation. As we increase levels of parallelism, bandwidth and capacity, we are presented with design challenges exacerbated by clients with varying but simultaneous needs such as real-time, low latency, and high-bandwidth. In this role, you will work on crafting special purpose cache and controller which is part and parcel of the SOC memory hierarchy.
Design and develop hardware for cache subsystem in high performance system on a chip (SoC).
Develop cache micro-architecture based on architecture guidelines and model analysis.
Explore architecture trade-offs in system performance, area, and power consumption.
Develop and debug register-transfer level (RTL) design of various sections in the cache subsystem.
Work on front-end netlist and area/timing analysis of the cache subsystem.
Work with physical design team on the timing closure of the cache subsystem.
10 + years of full time ASIC design experience
memory system development
RTL/micro-architecture definition
PPA (performance/power/area) analysis
Cache design background including an understanding of different memory organizations and tradeoffs.
Hands on Experience with multi-processor cache coherence protocols
B.S. in a relevant field
Knowledge of high-performance coherent memory systems or interconnect architectures
Knowledge of high-performance DRAM controller
M.S in a relevant field.
We’re a diverse collection of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, as well as with services, including iTunes, the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple Pay. And the same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant. Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be, no matter what your team or your role. So bring your passion, courage, and original thinking and get ready to share it, because every new product, service, or feature we invent is the result of people working together to make each others’ ideas stronger. Innovation at this level depends on people who represent the variety of the human experience and inspire us with their own fresh perspectives. Together, we’ll do amazing work that can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own. Learn more about working at Apple.
