CPU Implementation Engineer

EMPLOYER: APPLE INC

JOB TITLE: CPU Implementation Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION: APPLE INC has the following available for CPU Implementation Engineer (REQ# 200679170) in Austin, Texas. Perform block-level and top-level EMIR (Electromigration and IR Drop) analysis to identify electrical weaknesses in the power delivery network and ensure design reliability for high performance compute blocks. Conduct power grid design, optimization, and verification using industry-standard physical design (PNR) tools, ensuring robust power delivery and minimal voltage drop across the design. Develop and apply custom scripts in Python and TCL to automate EMIR, SIGEM (Signal EM), and reliability analysis workflows, enabling efficient debugging and large-scale data processing. Investigate and debug high IR drop and EM violations by tracing metal layers, via structures, and current paths, collaborating with physical design teams to suggest layout improvements. Work closely with CAD and EDA vendors to validate tool results, resolve tool-related issues, and incorporate enhancements for accurate EMIR/SIGEM signoff. Collaborate with methodology and implementation teams to support corner-case analysis, refine design guidelines, and ensure alignment on timing, routing, and physical constraints. Provide detailed design reviews and documentation for signoff, highlighting analysis outcomes, coverage metrics, and any risk areas requiring further optimization. Coordinate with SoC-level integration teams to ensure successful block delivery, maintain alignment on power integrity goals, and meet project milestones and tape-out schedules.
