Role Summary
This role supports functional validation of Apple CPUs within a cross-disciplinary chip design effort. The team develops CPU test content, identifies logic and circuit bugs, and leads silicon bring-up across pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
What You'll Do
- Work closely with CPU RTL and DV teams to understand CPU design changes and engineer test content for new features
- Create CPU validation test plans to ensure key features are covered
- Develop software workloads to stress test the CPU and integrate them into existing validation environments
- Maintain and improve the random test generator by adding support for CPU architectural and microarchitectural features
- Drive bring-up and execution of silicon validation tools in pre-silicon FPGAs and post-silicon development boards
- Debug functional silicon failures with Design and DV counterparts
