Employer job description
From Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Computational photography, live language translation, and countless other on-device AI capabilities depend on moving enormous amounts of data between memory and compute at exactly the right time. As part of our Silicon Engineering Group, you will own the design of high-performance DMA engines responsible for moving model weights and activation tensors between the memory subsystem and the Apple Neural Engine.
In this role, you will take end-to-end ownership of DMA subsystem blocks and collaborate closely with architecture and verification teams across the full front-end design cycle.
The work you deliver ships in Apple products used by billions of people every day.
Description
As an ASIC Design Engineer on the ANE DMA Design team, you will own the design of DMA subsystem blocks from microarchitecture specification through tapeout. ANE DMA's scale and complexity means grappling with: fetch sequencing, out-of-order response management, memory system back-pressure, address translation integration, and pipeline hazard resolution. In this front-end design role, your work will include:
