Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Were looking for a Cellular ASIC Design Engineer, where you will architect and implement protocol processing hardware for next-generation wireless SoCs. You will own the full lifecycle from early architectural exploration and HW/SW partitioning, through RTL implementation, to silicon bring-up and lab validation. You will collaborate closely with software, firmware and verification teams to deliver hardware that balances performance, flexibility, and power efficiency.Micro-architecture and RTL implementation for cellular protocol hardware. Analyze and optimize pipelining architectures to improve performance metrics. Drive latency optimization and quality of service (QoS) support. Define HW/FW/SW partitioning for protocol processing functions. Develop architectural prototypes to validate design decisions early. Bring up and debug hardware in the lab.BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience. Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and Verilog. Skilled in with synthesis and timing analysis tools. Experience with low-power design techniques. Proficiency with AMBA bus protocols (AXI, AHB) or similar on-chip NoCs. Expertise in designing and optimizing scheduling and QoS mechanisms.MS or PhD in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering. Understanding of cellular MAC, WiFi MAC or other data-link layer (L2) protocols. Solid grasp of IP and TCP/UDP protocols. Background in network infrastructure architecture (e.g. routers, access points, switches). Experience with packet buffering, queuing, and scheduling. Knowledge of security algorithms (AES or similar). Experienced with scheduling and arbitration designs for memory subsystems. Developed architectural models in C/C++ or SystemC.
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.
