Job Description

As an RFIC-PLL Designer you will provide analog and digital PLL solutions for wireless SoC and drive them to mass production for Apple. Responsibilities include: - Lead design of radio transceiver chains including analog PLLs - VCOs digital PLLs - DCOs LOGen and chain of blocks in RX and TX for wireless connectivity products.- Drive radio KPI (power area performance) to meet product requirements - Work with multi-functional teams including platform architecture wireless design RF HW and SW to define radio features enabling wireless innovation. - Work closely with RF Systems on block-level and high-level specifications of the PLL-LOGen TX and RX line-ups and the accurate distribution of spec margins in the chain.- Design of RF and Analog loopbacks for calibration and compensation.- Work through Co-Existence scenarios and design to meet the CoEx requirements.- Lead all aspects of the floorplan layout and verification of the design to ensure a successful tape-out.- Provide design versus silicon measurements correlation and compliance with volume production specifications.


  • BS and 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Solid experience with RF/analog and mixed-signal design experience in groundbreaking RF CMOS design.
  • Experienced in the design and development of fractional N Synthesizers Digital PLLs Analog PLLs and LO-Gen for high-performance applications and also low power applications.
  • Hands-on experience in designing TDC GRO Digital Filters Sigma Delta Modulators Pre-scalers and MMD DCOs PFD-CP and VCOs. Modeling analysis and design of SD noise cancellation and spur cancellation techniques.
  • Experienced in Cadence Virtuoso Spectre RF Matlab EM simulation (EMX HFSS) and similar tools.
  • Familiarity with mixed-signal mode verification methodology (SystemVerilog AMS Nanotime).
  • Extensive experience in fractional N synthesizer and LOGen silicon characterization and debugging.
