-You will gain insights into the ground breaking SOC IP and chip-level architecture that powers Apple Products (iPhone/iPad/Macs/Watch/TV)
-You will help validate the block level and system level performance of various subsystems in the SoC, and the QoS architecture of the SoC
-You will collaborate with multi-functional teams including architecture, hardware design, and software teams to develop testplans, debug, and correlate silicon data.
-You will maintain and improve the internally developed Real Time Operating System (RTOS) that executes on the AP Clusters and IO Co-Processors, to enable QOS validation and to validate Power management features
-You will write low-level driver code in a RTOS to configure and run various sub-systems (e.g. display, cameras, video encoders/decoders, fabrics, power management)
-You will develop system software to validate the power management features of the SOC
-You will develop and maintain latency critical software to identify and root-cause complex performance/QoS issues
-You will help bringup prototypes and explore power and performance of bare metal workloads
-You will acquire valuable software skills writing a bare-metal RTOS, developing and debugging device drivers/RTOS using lldb/Xcode, and modeling real customer usecases
