Analog Design Engineer (f/m/d)

Overview

At Apple, we work every day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. We are looking for a forward-thinking and unusually creative IC Designer. We are seeking an analog/mixed-signal IC design engineer with in-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art analog IC design and verification tools. As a member of our dynamic group, you will have the opportunity to craft upcoming products that will delight millions of Apple’s customers every day.

In this role, you will design data converters and other analog/mixed-signal circuits as IP deliveries. You will work with multi-functional teams to architect and implement state-of-the-art analog/mixed-signal circuits from initial concept towards high-volume production. You will drive mask design to implement layout view of designs, coordinate with IP consumers, define production/bench-level test plans, and conduct design reviews of blocks with peers/management to show that the design meets specification targets and requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design data converters and other analog/mixed-signal circuits as IP deliveries.
• Collaborate with multi-functional teams to architect and implement analog/mixed-signal circuits from concept to production.
• Drive mask design and implement layout views for designs.
• Coordinate with IP consumers and define production/bench-level test plans.
• Conduct design reviews with peers and management to verify that designs meet specifications and requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of transistor-level design.
• Experience with design and validation of complex analog/mixed-signal IPs.
• Solid understanding of analog/mixed-signal blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, filters, bandgap references, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, OpAmps, comparators and switched-cap circuits.
• Deep knowledge of analog/mixed-signal design techniques such as small-signal analysis, feedback loop theory and noise analysis.
• Deep knowledge of analog/mixed-signal concepts such as mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques.
• Experience with analog/mixed-signal IC development from definition to production including layout supervision, lab evaluation and characterization.
• Experience in silicon characterization and debugging of mixed-signal circuits, including lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes and signal generators.
• Experience with Verilog-A/AMS behavioral modeling is a plus.
• Proficiency in English language is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD/master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant experience.
• Apple is an Equal Opportunity Employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We also take affirmative action to offer employment and advancement opportunities to all applicants, including minorities, women, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Apple will not discriminate or retaliate against applicants who inquire about, disclose, or discuss their compensation or that of other applicants.

At Apple, we’re not all the same. And that’s our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we’ve experienced, and how we think. Because to create products that serve everyone, we believe in including everyone. Therefore, we are committed to treating all applicants fairly and equally. We will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations.
