You will have the opportunity to integrate and come-up with new insights, as well as work with vendors to promote efficiency in the Silicon community.We value your technical understanding of physical design principles. You will be responsible for ensuring the high quality of the chips and is expected to:•Audit vendor PD flows and methodologies for any holes and set up issues.•Suggest improvements to their methodology to optimize it to obtain the best QoR for Apple chips.•Work closely with the internal teams like systems and program management to ensure that the vendor PD implementation team is meeting the design goals.•Work closely with specialists from other teams like the packaging, process etc. to resolve any issues in the project which are in an area closely related to PD.•Conduct periodic design reviews - with deep technical dives - to make sure the project is tracking to the schedule and maintaining a high quality of work.•Review all the final PD, STA, SI, Electrical analysis reports and sign-off on them for tapeout approval.•Provide post tapeout support to work on ECOs and debug, if required.•Adhere to a strict and consistent standard of operation across all vendors and projects.•Maintain a professional relationship with the vendor and yet walk the fine line to maintain the customer-vendor distance.
