As a mmWave Design Engineer at Apple you will utilize your vast background in circuit design and be responsible for providing mmW design solutions for wireless chips. Responsibilities include: Collaborate with platform architects system engineers and digital design groups to define the requirements for mmWave phased-array front-end and baseband blocks based on the product requirements. Work with the technology team and foundries on process evaluation/selection for the target device. Design various transceiver blocks in Rx/Tx signal paths as well as PLL and LO generation. Partner with the design layout and chip integration teams to integrate the IPs and verify the top-level functionality and performance. Work with mmWave test engineers to bring up and characterize chips.
Deep understanding of RFIC fundamental and experience in designing at least one of the following blocks: LNA mixer variable gain amplifier combiners driver amplifiers power amplifiers VCOs or DCOs PLLs frequency dividers BBF.
Good knowledge of basic bias circuits op-amp designs.
Experience with mmWave RF and analog integrated circuit design with some experience in mmWave CMOS circuit design.
Familiar with RF system level analysis and ability to work with system architects to translate system requirements into circuit requirements at an IC level.
Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and their trade-offs.
BS and 3 years of relevant industry experience required.
Extensive experience in the simulation and design of lumped and distributed passive structures such as CPW lines coupled lines inductors and capacitors.
Proven experience in analysis design and implementation of RF/mmWave circuits such as low-noise broadband and/or high-power amplifiers as well as mixers and oscillators for mass volume production.
Very good understanding of CMOS processes device fundamentals and modeling including small signal/large signal behavior and noise behavior.
Very good knowledge of one or more of the following tools: Cadence Spectre AMS GoldenGate AFS ADS EMX SimVision RelExpert parasitic extraction tools.
Understanding of mmWave device modeling; insights into packaging effects integrated antenna arrays supply isolations high-frequency ESD structures and circuit layout for optimum performance.
Hands-on experience in high-frequency silicon characterization and debug would be helpful showing the ability to collaborate with Silicon validation and system validation teams.
Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or related field and 3 years of relevant industry experience is preferred.
