Analog IC Design Engineer

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich peoples 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 craft upcoming products that will delight and inspire millions of Apples customers every single day.

In this role, the key responsibilities are the following:

• Involved in specifications of analog portions of IC.
• Behavioral modeling to validate architectures.
• Transistor-level feasibility studies for various blocks in ADC/DAC.
• Crafting blocks and documenting design towards formal design reviews.
• Drive mask design to implement layout view of designs.
• Top-level simulations to validate top-level integration.
• Defining production/bench-level test-plans.
• Taking lab measurements to validate analog designs.
• Driving/reviewing yield/lab test results to drive bug fixes.
• Design for ESD compliance.

Bachelors of Science in Electric Engineering with 10+ years of relevant experience preferred.

Do you have a proven track record of taking chips to production in the following areas?
