Your work will touch every DRAM on every SoC-based product Apple makes. This includes iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and now Apple Silicon. Being Apple, we drive DRAM specs beyond JEDEC and lead the DRAM technology industry rather than follow it. Even though this is a software role, where you can develop and refine your coding skills, you will learn all about DRAM, its interface, how to characterize and how to debug. When issues arise, you will learn to determine if it’s a problem in our software, the manufacturing test flow, a physical or design flaw within the SoC or DRAM, a problem with thermals or even a bug in the compiler. The skills you will gain go well beyond embedded software development and not to mention becoming a DRAM domain expert while you’re at it.
- Design and implementation of firmware for DRAM initialization, training, and characterization- Improving and maintaining the development and debug environments, tools and methodologies- Support of functional test environment for device characterization, failure analysis, and mass production- Developing software to prove that the silicon behaves as architected under the various supported modes- Developing targeted functional tests to screen failures identified during the product lifecycle- Work with silicon designers on proof of concept features
- Bachelors degree or equivalent experience with minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.
- Proficiency in C programming
- Background in embedded software development, bare metal, RTOS and/or Linux
- DRAM experience, including debugging and characterization
- Experience with LPDDR4 & LPDDR5 I/O interface
- Experience with DRAM initialization and training/calibration
- Exposure to SoC bring up
- Experience using laboratory equipment (e.g., logic analyzer, digital oscilloscope)
- Good troubleshooting skills in silicon bring-up and embedded software debugging.
