Senior Wireless SoC Design Verification Engineer

Apple's wireless chip powers connectivity across every new iPhone — and its successor is already taking shape. Would you like to join Apple's growing wireless silicon development team?
Our Wireless SOC organization owns every aspect of wireless silicon development, with a particular emphasis on highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level. It is driven by a world-class, vertically integrated team spanning RF/Analog, Systems/PHY/MAC, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.
As a Wireless SOC Design Verification Engineer, you'll be at the heart of the chip design effort — owning a meaningful verification scope and growing it project to project.
You'll work alongside DV methodologists, designers, architects, communication systems engineers, and firmware engineers to build reusable testbenches and verification environments using the latest metric-driven verification methodology.

Description

You'll be responsible for pre-silicon RTL verification at the block, subsystem, and top-level SOC, taking your scope from test planning through coverage closure and signoff.
Your activity may focus at block level, subsystem level, or top-level SOC, including end-to-end simulations of the entire data/control path.

Minimum Qualifications

BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
Minimum of 8 years relevant industry experience
Hands-on experience across the verification cycle: test planning, testbench implementation, test creation and debug, and coverage closure
Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills, with solid working knowledge of UVM and DV methodologies
Solid problem-solving and debugging skills with constrained-random verification
Understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture
Self-motivated and dedicated, with proven creative thinking capabilities
Ability to handle multiple tasks and prioritise work to meet deadlines

Preferred Qualifications

Great teammate with excellent communication skills and the desire to take on diverse challenges
Experience taking at least one ASIC/SOC from concept through tape-out
Experience with MAC or PHY verification
Experience verifying IP or top-level integration for a WiFi or Bluetooth SOC, or knowledge of wireless protocols
Verification experience with PCIe, bus fabric/NOC, or AHB/AXI-based architectures in a UVM environment
Experience with low-power verification, UPF, boot-up, power-cycling, and HW/FW interaction
Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and/or formal tools (e.g., JasperGold)
Experience defining coverage space and writing coverage models
Experience with embedded CPU verification; programming in C/C++ or assembly
Scripting in Python or Perl; interest in applying AI/ML to verification workflows
