ASIC Design Engineer – Neural Engine DMA

Join Apple's Silicon Engineering Group as an ASIC Design Engineer on the ANE DMA Design team, where you'll contribute to the development of high-performance DMA engines that facilitate data movement for on-device AI applications. Your work will impact billions of users globally, as you collaborate with architecture and verification teams throughout the design cycle.

Responsibilities:

• Design DMA subsystem blocks from microarchitecture specification through tapeout.
• Write well-parameterized RTL for correct synthesis, clean timing, and low power.
• Execute front-end implementation tasks including synthesis, timing closure, area and power analysis, linting, and logic equivalence checks.
• Collaborate with designers and architecture teams to understand design requirements and contribute to micro-architectural specifications.
• Work with design verification teams to ensure functional correctness, review test plans, and debug failures.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in a relevant field.
• 0 years of industry experience.

Skills:

• Familiarity with Verilog or SystemVerilog and digital design fundamentals.
• Exposure to on-chip bus protocols like AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB).
• Understanding of system-level concepts related to SoC data movement and memory systems.
• Background in high-bandwidth domains such as networking, image processing, or AI/ML.
• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl) for design automation.
• Strong technical writing skills and proactive communication in design reviews.
