Full Job Description
Description

You will have the opportunity to work on the development of high-performance and high-speed AMS circuits used in wide range of Apple SoCs, ranging from highspeed links to reference, oscillators and other clocking circuits, data converters, signal conditioning ckts, sensors, etc, including evaluation of different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g.,design for low noise, robust power supply rejection, and excellent phase noise that can survive challenging mixed signal environments, while also implementing mixed signal control loops to optimize product performance). We are challenged to do this while maintaining best in class power, performance, and area (PPA). You will work with cross-functional teams (e.g., architecture, SIPI, packaging, board design, DFT, ESD) to create block-level specifications and execute on transistor-level implementation and behavioral modeling. You will drive mask design to implement layout view of designs. You will closely work with SOC teams to deliver IP views and make sure they meet the quality standards. While developing these complex IPs, on regular basis you will interact with your peers/management to communicate progress and discuss new ideas making it a lively and interactive work environment.

Minimum Qualifications

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

Deep understanding of analog mixed-signal design with experience in high-speed analog, mixed signal or RF design.

Understanding and experience of designing analog mixed signal circuit blocks including Bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits, ADCs, DACs, Oscillators, Filters, PLLs and LNAs

Understanding of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques

Good grasp and understanding of digitally assisted analog design concepts (e.g. background calibrations, LMS based adaptive loops)

Experience with custom design of high-speed digital circuits with solid understanding of digital design concepts

Knowledge of frequency and time domain equalization techniques

Knowledge of mixed signal feedback control loop architectures and implementations

Knowledge of lab equipment and testing

Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g. SystemVerilog, Matlab, Python, VerilogAMS)

Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS technologies, preferably including design with FinFet technology

Hands-on experience with mixed signal IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterization

Experience in lab testing of high-speed mixed signal or RF circuits, debug and data analysis techniques

Skills in scripting and automation to enhance efficiency are highly desirable

About Apple

Apple is a corporation that designs, manufactures, and markets mobile communication and media devices, personal computers, portable digital music players, and sells a variety of related software, services, peripherals, networking solutions, and third-party digital content and applications. Apple provides many products and services, including iPhone; iPad; iPod; Mac; Apple TV; a portfolio of consumer and professional software applications; the iOS and OS X operating systems; iCloud; and accessories, service, and support offerings. It sells its products worldwide through its retail stores, online stores, direct sales force and third-party cellular network carriers, wholesalers, retailers, and value-added resellers to the consumer and also sells third-party iPhone, iPad, Mac and iPod compatible products, including application software and accessories through its online and retail stores. Introduced in 1984, the Macintosh was the first widely sold personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI). That feature and others such as an improved floppy drive design and a low-cost hard drive that made data retrieval faster helped Apple cultivate a reputation for innovation. Apple was named as the most admired company in the United States in 2008 and in the world from 2008 to 2012 by the Fortune magazine. The company was founded by Steven Paul Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Gerald Wayne on April 1, 1976, and is headquartered in Cupertino, California.
