This position requires excellent organization and communication skills to roll up regular status reports to multi-functional teams and senior executives.
Description
- As a Small Cores EPM, you will align, manage and track the HW/SW instances of Apple’s custom non-Application Processor (AP) cores, to ensure a uniform, supportable and auditable flow is exercised across them from the nascent stages of the SoC design until the SoC final revision is intercepted into the platform it was design for.
- This requires a deep understanding, through partnership with the various partners, of the numerous IP's in the SoC, the need/support/timelines/availability of the SW lineage that is required across each of the chosen custom small cores.
