Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer

About the role

As a Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer, you'll verify sophisticated WiFi PHY digital systems spanning time/frequency-domain processing, hardware acceleration, calibration engines, and protocol implementation. You'll architect verification strategies for high-rate, low-power, low-latency, and multi-link wireless features enabling advanced applications across Apple's product ecosystem. You'll own subsystem verification from test planning through coverage closure-building environments, constrained random scenarios, and applying analytics methodologies to deliver exceptional wireless silicon.

Responsibilities

• Develop sophisticated UVM environments and bus functional models for complex DSP subsystems and IEEE 802.11 protocol.
• Own subsystem verification from test planning and environment bring-up through feature closure.
• Develop UVM testbench environments, bus functional models (BFMs), assertions, and infrastructure / DPIs to utilizing algorithm models.
• Architect and implement constrained random scenarios exercising complex protocol interactions.
• Apply data-driven verification closure through coverage tracking, issue tracking, gap identification, and metrics.
• Drive verification strategy with cross-functional Systems / Design teams to achieve coverage closure across complex domains.

Requirements

• Knowledge of IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols, Bluetooth, Cellular, or similar communication systems.
• Experience with applying / integrating System models utilizing DPIs.
• Understanding of DSP algorithms verification strategies (Bit / Cycle matching, Assertions).
• Experience with transaction-level modeling including packet-based approaches (scoreboarding, protocols).
• Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
• Track record of several tapeout cycles of sophisticated designs.
• Experience verifying wireless, DSP, or digital communication systems.
• Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog / UVM including testbench architecture, scenario creation, and coverage-driven methodologies.
• Experience developing verification environments, bringing up complex designs, and debugging simulations.
• Experience with constrained random testing, functional coverage implementation, and assertion-based verification.
• Pay & Benefits
• Note: Apple benefit, compensation and employee stock programs are subject to eligibility requirements and other terms of the applicable plan or program.
