Join our team at Apple Austria to develop and integrate Control IPs for the next generations of Cellular Transceiver SoCs

As a member of our Cellular team in Linz, you will be responsible for crafting sophisticated digital IPs that control all major system components. You will collaborate closely with system architects, firmware teams, verification engineers, and other stakeholders to develop block-level specifications and implement the designs. You will own the creation of the blocks and guide them through the concept, design, integration, and verification phases.

Description

As a valued member of our Cellular Design Engineering team, you will be responsible for developing, integrating, and verifying IP sub-components for a cellular transceiver System on Chip. Your primary responsibilities will include defining and driving the implementation, timing closure, and power optimizations in close collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team comprising system, digital, analog, and firmware design, design verification, and physical design teams. These teams will provide the vital support to facilitate your daily work.

Your responsibilities will extend beyond design, encompassing end-to-end accountability throughout the project lifecycle of the IP developed from conception to design, verification, integration, silicon validation, and finally, in-field operation.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with synthesis, logic equivalence, or ECO techniques would be highly beneficial.

The ideal candidate demonstrates a strong passion for owning/driving design schedules using well-defined metrics, exhibiting initiative, and taking ownership of responsibilities.

Experience with AXI/AHB bus fabric and processor sub-systems would be a huge asset.

A bachelor's or master's in Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Science/ Software Engineering, or equivalent.
