Job summary

Apple's Wireless SOC Design Verification team in California is seeking a Wireless SOC Design Verification Engineer to own verification scope across pre-silicon RTL, block, and top-level SOC. You will build reusable testbenches, develop UVM-based flows, and verify power intent with UPF while collaborating with architects, designers, and firmware teams.

You'll tackle areas like CPU subsystem, PCIe, memory interfaces, WiFi/Bluetooth traffic, and AI-assisted verification strategies, with

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a related field.
• Hands-on verification: test planning, testbench, debug, coverage closure.
• Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills with solid working knowledge of UVM.
• Solid problem-solving and debugging skills with constrained-random verification.
• Understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture.

Responsibilities

• Partner with architects and designers early to build detailed verification plans from specifications — before RTL lands, not after.
• Develop reusable block/IP and subsystem-level UVM testbenches, and support IP integration into the SOC.
• Write directed and constrained-random tests; create and analyze coverage models and drive coverage closure.
• Debug failures, including corner cases, and manage bug tracking through resolution.
• Verify low-power design intent using UPF within your scope.
• Verify end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows from subsystem level up through top-level SOC integration.
• Apply formal verification where it fits — the team will help you ramp up.
• Build and improve automated regression flows and contribute to methodology in your area.
• Explore and apply AI-assisted verification techniques to improve team productivity.
• Participate in verification reviews and uphold high coding-quality standards.
• Support post-silicon bring-up as needed.
