## Description

You will need a fundamental understanding of HW and SW design, as well as the eagerness to do hands-on verification. The cool thing is, once you crack the design verification world, it will potentiate your knowledge of HW/SW systems in the RF world. We will introduce you to assertion-based verification, simulation acceleration, and formal methods. You will learn special verification languages as universal verification methodology (UVM) or formal description languages, like SVA, flanked by AI-based approaches. Our team is a very strong cellular hardware design verification team with very good individual communication. You will work in a strong team setup with a lot of interpersonal interaction that will help you to get a very wide understanding of our work, as well as the sub-system and system integration into RF modems. You will build metric-driven verification plans from specifications, review them, and refine them to achieve coverage targets. You will define functional verification requirements based on design requirements and architect and develop UVM-based, highly reusable test benches starting from different components over a cluster into SoC levels.

## Minimum Qualifications

• Proven experience in taping out SoC systems with embedded processor cores and hands-on verification experience in UVM environments.
• Strong collaborative work experience with system, design, and firmware teams.
• Verification and Validation approach, as well as outstanding sense and commitment to the quality of deliverables
• A detective skill for finding bugs and weaknesses
• Having a good view of the definition and design process of a chip
• Holistically thinking beyond the design verification domain boundaries
• Good interpersonal and communication skills
• English language proficiency is required for this position

## Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's (or higher degree) in Electrical Engineering or Communication Engineering with several years of working experience.
• System know-how in the cellular RF transceiver domain is a plus
• Proficiency in RISC-V architecture, encompassing design, verification, and programming, is highly valued
• Knowledge of assertion-based verification would be nice to have
• Ideally, you worked on system/IP definition, system/IP validation, system/IP design, system/IP testing, or similar
• Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We also take affirmative action to offer employment and advancement opportunities to all applicants, including minorities, women, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.
