Physical Design Engineer

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people's lives. As a Physical Design Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to work on challenges that no one has solved yet and change the game. You'll be at the center of a PHY design effort, working with architecture, CAD, timing, and logic design teams, with a critical impact on delivering outstanding PHY designs.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Generating block/chip level static timing constraints
• Building full chip floor-plans including pin placement, partitions, and power grid
• Developing and validating high-performance low power clock network guidelines
• Performing block-level place and route and closing the design to meet timing, area, and power constraints
• Generating and implementing ECOs to fix timing, noise, and EM IR violations
• Running Physical Design verification flow at chip/block level and providing guidelines to fix LVS/DRC violations
• Participating in establishing CAD and physical design methodologies for correct by construction designs
• Assisting in flow development for chip integration

The ideal candidate will have deep design experience in high PHY and/or SOC designs, knowledge of industry standards and practices in Physical Design, experience in developing power-grid and clock specifications, and a strong understanding of Physical construction, Integration, and Verification. You should be a power user of industry-standard Physical Design & Synthesis tools and have a deep understanding of scripting languages and Physical Design Verification methodology.

At Apple, you'll be part of a team that's changing the world through innovative technology. You'll have the opportunity to work on products that millions of people use every day, while also growing your skills and advancing your career. Join us in crafting the future of technology!
