Work closely with the Front-End team to understand chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in design cycle. Drive best in class Physical Design construction and optimization recipes for performance, power and Area (PPA). Collaborate to drive methodologies and “best known methods” to streamline PD work, come up with guidelines and checklists, drive execution and track progress. Be focal point for place and route drive the work among place and route engineers, set goals and breakthroughs, plan short and long-term work, understand dependencies between different domains like top, STA, block Place & Route. Manage and resolve design and flow issues related to physical design, identify potential solutions and drive execution. Are you a confident problem solver who thrives under pressure to find new, creative solutions? Are you ready to help chart the future of Apple's ecosystem? If so, we are excited to hear from you.
