At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a visionary and uncommonly talented IC Designer. As a member of our dynamic group, you will have the rare and rewarding opportunity to help craft upcoming products that will delight and inspire millions of Apple’s customers every single day. Description

Participate in defining, designing, developing, and taking to production analog and mixed-signal circuits and sub-systems within Apple integrated circuit devices. Specify, design, implement, and verify analog and mixed-signal circuits and sub-systems, including transistor-level analog circuits, mixed-signal interfaces, and digital control and signal processing blocks. Develop and run high-level simulations to validate top-level integration. Engage with cross-functional teams including analog, digital, DV, firmware, software, SoC architecture, technology, packaging, silicon validation, production test, and manufacturing to implement new circuits and sub-systems and drive them into production. Define production and bench-top test plans, analyze results, and drive DOEs. Create integration guides and user documents, and assist with challenges in successfully implementing new circuits and sub-systems into complex SoCs. Minimum Qualifications

BS degree in a technical discipline with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience. Preferred Qualifications

Experience conceptualizing, evaluating, designing, and taking to production analog and mixed-signal circuits and sub-systems for sensing and measurement, especially within digital-intensive SoCs. Expertise in high-precision circuit design techniques in the presence of device mismatch and high supply noise. Deep knowledge of device physics as it applies to semiconductor devices and manufacturing technology. Understanding of ADC/DAC architectures, performance metrics, design trade-offs, and application-specific suitability. Experience with building block circuits such as band-gaps, CMOS bias generators, TIAs, op-amps, filters, switched-cap circuits, LDOs, ADCs, etc. Proficiency in analog design techniques including feedback, chopping, calibration, and adaptive algorithms, with experience applying AI/ML to optimize these techniques. Strong communication skills to distill complex technical issues. Experience working with test engineers to develop and validate test plans, and debug yield issues. Proficiency in C, MATLAB, Verilog modeling, and Python programming. Experience applying AI/ML in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and productization. Apple offers a comprehensive total compensation package, including base pay ranging from $171,600 to $302,200, dependent on skills and experience. Employees may participate in stock programs, receive benefits such as medical coverage, retirement plans, discounts, educational reimbursement, and potential bonuses or relocation assistance. Apple is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
