Design Verification

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without.

It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Design and architect specifications and work closely with design & micro-architecture teams. Understand the functional & performance goals of the design.

Develop test plans, tests & coverage plans as well as define our next generation verification methodology & test benches. Communicate and collaborate with design, architecture and software teams to understand the use cases and corner conditions and drive test cases.

Ensure the quality of the SoC, IP, and/or subsystem by working on one or more types of IP such as Neural Engine hardware, DRAM subsystems, memory controller logic, Encode and Decode systems for ProRes and other codec formats (such as VP9 and AV1), hardware security including cryptographic algorithm implementations), high-speed IO standards (such as PCI Express, DisplayPort, MIPI), power management and fabric infrastructure, memory cache management, and display subsystems for variety of panels and products.

40 hours/week. At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role.

The base pay range for this role is between $174,149 - $225,300/yr and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
