Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there is no telling what you could accomplish. Dynamic, smart people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with all Apple Hardware products. 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. The RTL Design team at the UK GPU Design Centre works on complex, large-scale GPU related projects. We partner with our graphics architecture, functional verification, and physical design teams to deliver high-quality graphics IP in order to meet performance, feature, timing, area and power goals .

Description

You will work closely with other designers to refine GPU micro-architectural specifications as well as collaborate with the architecture, physical design and verification teams to identify potential issues as early as possible. You will implement the micro-architecture, targeting cutting-edge technology nodes, balancing energy efficiency, performance and area constraints with project schedule, maintainability and coding elegance. You will review synthesis and power reports, root-cause, resolve timing and power issues and ensure maximal QoR (quality of results) throughout your design. As your design approaches functional completion, your task will be to work closely with the verification team to ensure the design behaves as intended and is tested thoroughly. At this point, there will be ongoing collaboration with the physical design team to help with any adjustments necessary to produce an optimal layout of the design, in its context. Once your design is integrated into the system as a whole, you'll be simulating and debugging issues both within and around your design.

Minimum Qualifications

• Previous complex IP design experience required..
• Understanding of implementing modern design techniques.
• Hands on experience with energy-efficient and low-power logic design.
• Strong background in computer architecture including one or more of: high-speed CMOS processor and controller blocks, cache controllers, bus-interface subsystems, integer and floating-point numeric units, digital filters, graphics processors, crossbar fabrics and other high-speed data-path control units.
• Well-versed in logic optimisation, synthesis, timing analysis.
• Fluency with RTL Verilog/VHDL syntax & hardware modelling.
• Familiarity with logic simulation and debug environments as well as formal verification.
• Ability to work well in a team and be productive under tight schedules.
• Excellent communications skills, self-motivated and well-organised.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on GPUs is desirable but not required

At Apple, we're not all the same. And that's our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we've experienced and how we think. Because to create products that serve everyone, we believe in including everyone. Therefore, we are committed to treating all applicants fairly and equally. As a registered Disability Confident employer, we will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations. Apple will consider for employment all qualified applicants with criminal backgrounds in a manner consistent with applicable law. Learn more
