DESCRIPTION
As a Design Verification Engineer, you'll be at the center of our silicon design group's verification efforts, ensuring the quality and reliability of next-generation cellular systems. Working on innovative baseband modems and RF link controllers for Apple's SOCs, you'll craft highly reusable UVM verification environments that set the standard for quality and efficiency. You'll develop comprehensive coverage-driven and directed test cases that thoroughly validate complex IP and subsystem designs, working closely with multi-functional teams throughout the process. In this role, you'll drive methodology innovation by deploying sophisticated tools and techniques that elevate verification practices and ensure tape-out readiness. Collaborating with product development teams across Apple, you'll help deliver cellular systems that redefine industry capabilities and enhance customer experiences globally. This position offers exceptional opportunities to deepen your expertise across cellular protocols, complex IP and subsystem architectures, advanced fabric protocols, and sophisticated debug methodologies. You'll gain experience with best-in-class design verification practices, co-verification techniques with models and firmware, and industry-standard low-power architectures. We're looking for engineers with hands-on ASIC design verification experience using reusable verification methodologies such as UVM. The ideal candidate excels at detailed test planning, adapts optimally to evolving requirements, has knowledge of the latest ML-based tools to improve productivity, and is driven to achieve the highest quality standards. You thrive in collaborative environments and are eager to address the verification challenges inherent in complex, high-performance cellular systems. If you want to contribute to products that impact customers worldwide while advancing your technical expertise, we'd love to hear from you.
