Graphics FE Implementation Engineer

As part of Apple's Silicon Engineering group, you'll help design and manufacture next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processors. You'll be responsible for crafting and building GPUs that enrich the lives of millions of people every day. The role involves working closely with RTL and PD teams, focusing on synthesis, analysis, and optimization of delivered IP. You'll use and develop advanced techniques to meet challenging timing, power, and area targets while collaborating with STA and DFT partners to achieve successful first silicon. Key responsibilities include:

• Owning block level synthesis and driving analysis and optimizations using advanced synthesis techniques
• Collaborating with Physical Design and Timing Analysis teams on physical concepts
• Analyzing architectural critical paths and driving multi-block closure
• Debugging complex logic equivalence issues and reviewing netlist checks
• Developing and driving adoption of innovative methodologies
• Implementing ECOs for functionality and timing

The ideal candidate will have expert synthesis design experience, understand RTL design principles, and can drive quality physical design implementation. Experience with reset domains, multi-clock domains, multi-power domains (UPF), and linting tools is valuable. Scripting experience in ASIC flows (python, tcl, Perl) is required. Familiarity with DFT insertion, simulation tools, and GPU experience is desirable but not required.
