Job description
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Dynamic, intelligent people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. 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. Do you want to join us in these pursuits? Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product!
In this role, you will be at the center of a chip design effort that collaborates with many disciplines and has a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers. You will be part of a team responsible for the functional validation of our CPUs, with the aim of identifying logic design and circuit bugs. You will be developing CPU test content using our test generators, defining new test cases for our cutting-edge CPU designs, and spearheading our silicon bring-up efforts.
Description
• Work closely with CPU RTL and DV teams to understand changes to our CPU designs and to engineer test content for new CPU features
• Create CPU validation test plans, ensuring all key features are covered
• Develop SW workloads to stress test the CPU and integrate these into our existing validation environments
• Help maintain and improve our random test generator by adding support for new CPU architectural and microarchitectural features
• Drive the bring-up and execution of our silicon validation tools in pre-silicon (FPGAs) and post-silicon (development boards)
• Debug functional silicon failures closely with Design and DV counterparts
Minimum Qualifications
Minimum BS
Academic coursework in CPU architecture
Experience in programming in C or C++ and scripting in Python or Perl
Preferred Qualifications
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering
Understanding of CPU architecture including instruction sets, pipelines, caches, and memory subsystems
Experience with assembly programming (ARM ISA is a plus)
Knowledge of operating system fundamentals including kernel execution, privilege levels, memory management, and virtual machines
Good understanding of the logic design and verification process
Background in silicon bring-up and system debug experience is a plus
Strong problem-solving skills
