Job description

Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer

Apple's growing wireless silicon development team is responsible for the next generation of wireless silicon! In this role you will be responsible for ASIC pre-silicon verification of our extremely high throughput and low power Wireless Physical Layer. You will verify complex phy technology and protocols by developing advanced testbenches and infrastructure, applying systems models, planning and implementing testing, performing data analysis, root causing issues, and driving feature closure. Join the heart of driving the next generation of wireless technology connecting the world!

Description

As a Wireless Verification Engineer, you will be at the core of our wireless product's success, bridging domains, driving collaborations, and originating verification solutions to ensure excellent products. In this role you will take on verification of cutting edge PHY modem hardware including major controllers, blocks, subsystems, wireless protocols, DSP algorithms, low power capability, and SOC / integration framework. You will leverage and develop environments, infrastructures, create scenarios, and analyze metrics. Responsibilities include:

1. Develop features or subsystem test planning, bring up, through feature closure.
2. Develop test bench environment, infrastructure, methodology, and flow automation, architecture and development.
3. Work with cross functional partnerships, driving verification requirement and deliverable.
4. Develop constrained randomization scenario development and debug.
5. Develop regression issue tracking and closure.
6. Develop data analysis metric development and utilization for extensive regression and coverage data.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS + 3 years of industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience verifying complex IP with a track record of robust ASICs.
• Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Experience developing testbenches from scratch, bringing up designs in simulation.
• Experience with constrained random testing, coverage closure, and RTL simulations.
• Experience in a scripting language such as Python, Perl, Bash or similar is valued.
• Experience verifying Wireless or Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems is a plus.
• Knowledge of a wireless protocol (e.g. Wi-Fi / IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth or LTE) is a plus.
