APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Responsible for all phases of design for high performance microprocessors from register transfer language (RTL) to final GDSII delivery. Perform front end implementation tasks such as structured data path design, synthesis, logic equivalence check, and static timing analysis (STA) to ensure design is meeting performance requirements with targeted timing constraints using industry standard timing signoff tools like primetime. Collaborate with RTL team, by analyzing design and providing detailed feedback, to perform feasibility analysis on suggested microarchitectures, including performance, area, timing, power, complexity, and effort. Generate timing constraints for synthesis, place and route (PnR) and STA tools to do the design timing closure. Perform Place and Route (PnR) by using industry standard tool for floor planning, logic placement, clock tree creation, timing, area and power optimization to meet timing, area and power constraints for meeting design spec. Generate and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to fix timing and power for by using timing closure tool, primetime and place and route tool. Run physical design verification flow and fix layout versus schematic (LVS) and design rule checker (DRC) violations for making sure design is meeting foundry rule requirements using Calibre tool. Run electrical analysis to do static and dynamic voltage analysis, logic equivalence check for design verification post PnR. Collaborate with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) team to develop physical design methodologies to automate flows and improve overall design quality for power, performance and area improvement. 40 hours/week.
