Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Do you love creating elegant solutions to highly complex challenges? Do you intrinsically see the importance in every detail? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you'll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC). You'll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple's devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices.

Description
You will translate architecture specifications and use case descriptions for new and emerging workloads including Machine Learning (ML) to test scenarios on Silicon. You will gain insights into the cutting-edge SOC IP and chip-level architecture that powers Apple Products (iPhone/iPad/Macs/Watch/TV). Validate the block level and system level performance of various subsystems in the SoC, and the QoS architecture of the SoC. Collect and analyze the hardware performance data to study and validate the impact of various architecture and micro-architectural features on the QoS and block-level and system-level Performance of the SoC. You will collaborate with cross-function teams including architecture, hardware design, and software teams to develop testplans, debug, and correlate silicon data. You will write low-level driver code in a RTOS to configure and run various sub-systems (e.g. display, cameras, video encoders/decoders). Develop and maintain latency critical software to identify and root-cause complex performance/QoS issues. You will help bringup prototypes and explore power and performance of bare metal workloads. You will acquire valuable software skills in modeling real customer use cases, and developing and debugging Device Drivers and RTOS using lldb/Xcode!
