Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? As part of our Silicon Engineering group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processors! You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. As part of the GPU FE Implementation team, you’ll be responsible for crafting and building a GPU that enriches the lives of millions of people every day!

Description

The successful candidate will work closely with the RTL and PD (physical design) teams and be responsible for synthesis, analysis, and optimization of the delivered IP. For this role, use and develop advanced techniques to meet challenging timing, power and area targets while also working with our partners in STA and DFT to achieve successful first silicon. Through this collaboration, you will deliver the best-in-class GPU’s for the best consumer products. If you’re ready to help chart the future of Apple Silicon, we’d love to talk to you.
