The ESD Engineer will join a cross-functional team to take ownership of the ESD and Latch-Up requirements for all integrated circuits developed by and for Apple. The primary responsibility involves ensuring silicon is designed to meet specific ESD specifications and manufacturing requirements while maintaining minimum cost to mission-mode functions. Day-to-day tasks include defining ESD methodologies, specifying chip and IP level requirements, designing protection devices and circuits, and developing test structures to characterize silicon for ESD and LUP properties. The role requires deep understanding of transistor device characteristics and models including HBM, CDM, MM, and IEC-61000-4-2. Candidates must possess hands-on experience with design and layout EDA tools such as Virtuoso, Calibre, and Allegro, alongside experience with ESD and LUP test and characterization equipment.
