Job overview

Apple seeks a Wireless SOC Verification Engineer to own verification scope for its N1 wireless chip, beginning with a block or feature and expanding toward subsystem and SOC integration. The engineer works across power management, CPU, debug, PCIe, bus fabric, boot sequencing, and peripherals, primarily through simulation, with exposure to formal verification. The role also includes UPF power-intent verification and applying AI-assisted tools to verification work.

Summary

Apple’s N1 wireless chip powers connectivity across every new iPhone — and its successor is already taking shape. As a Wireless SOC Verification Engineer, you’ll own your verification scope end-to-end — starting with a well-defined block or feature and growing in scope and complexity as you do. Over time, you’ll build depth in the IPs you know best and breadth across others, from block-level verification up toward subsystem and SOC integration.

Description

You’ll own verification for your scope — with a mentor’s guidance as you build toward full ownership — on a chip that ships in every new iPhone, starting with a block or feature sized to where you are and expanding from there. You’ll work across the Power Management Unit, the CPU subsystem, on-chip debug infrastructure, PCIe, bus fabric, boot and secure-boot sequencing, and peripherals like SPI and UART — primarily through simulation, with exposure to formal verification as you grow. Low-power is part of the picture too: you’ll get hands-on with power intent verification using UPF within your scope. AI is reshaping how the team works, and you’ll help apply AI-assisted tools for test generation, debug, or verification closure as part of your day-to-day.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelors degree.

  • Strong academic record (GPA).

  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog.

  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with UVM methodology.

  • Exposure to PCIe, Bus Fabric, NOC, AHB, AXI-based bus architectures in a UVM environment.

  • Experience verifying IP or top-level integration for a WiFi or Bluetooth SOC.

  • Experience with Formal Verification.

  • In-depth knowledge and experience working with low power design, UPF integration, boot-up, power-cycling, HW/FW interaction verification.

  • Should be a great teammate with excellent communication skills and the desire to seek diverse challenges.
