Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer

At Apple we work every single day to craft products that enrich peopleʼs 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 Appleʼs customers every single day

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 analog digital DV firmware software SoC architecture technology packaging silicon validation production test manufacturing and other teams to implement the 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 generally assist with challenges in successfully implementing the new circuits and sub-systems into complex SoCs.

BS degree in technical discipline required.
