Overview
Apple Silicon Engineering is seeking qualified circuit designers to work on the next generation analog & mixed-signal (AMS) circuits for Apple's world-leading systems-on-chip (SOCs)! Apple's Ax SOCs are the brain of every iPhone and iPad. Several types of AMS circuits are used to connect them to the physical world as well as enable optimizing their performance. You will be part of a growing AMS team involved in design and productization on leading-edge CMOS process technology nodes!
Description
Perform transistor-level feasibility study and modeling for various analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks
Designing blocks and documenting design simulation and verification towards formal design reviews
Drive mask design to implement layout views of designs and drive layout reviews
Post-layout and top-level simulations to validate top-level integration
Run design verification flows (e.g., electro-migration, IR drop, LEC, timing, etc) to verify design is ready for tape-out
Participating in production and bench-level test plans
Taking lab measurements to validate performance compliance with the spec
Participating in reviewing yield/lab test results to drive bug fixes
Key Qualifications
* The ideal candidate should have deep understanding of analog mixed-signal design with preferred experience in high-speed serial links.* Solid understanding and experience of designing analog/mixed signal circuit blocks including Bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits, ADCs, DACs, PLLs Oscillators, Filters etc.* In-depth knowledge of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques* Experience with high speed digital circuits (e.g., serializer, deserializer, counters, dividers, etc.)* Design experience in advanced CMOS technologies,* Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, SATA, etc.)* Experience in the following areas desirable:* Static timing analysis tools (e.g., Nanotime, Primetime, etc.)* Modeling of digitally assisted analog adaptive loops (using C, Matlab or Python, etc.)* Able to build VerilogA/AMS behavioral models* Able to analyze and lead characterization data from lab and volume testing* Knowledge of ESD requirements
