SerDes Micro Architect

Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) Team is seeking a self-motivated SERDES Micro Architect to drive the definition of our next generation IPs. The SERDES IPs will be used in Apple silicon offering breakthrough power and performance for iPhone iPad Mac and Apple Watch.

You will define the Micro Architecture of analog mixed-signal IPs with emphasis on SERDES design. You will review firmware code analog and digital circuits and will verify that the design meets performance requirements. You will work with silicon evaluation and design verification teams to define expected behavior. You would lead the debug effort in system bring up and factory test. You will work with signal integrity engineers to determine system requirements.
