TL;DR · RF/Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer

The RF/Analog Mixed Signal Design Engineer will join a hands-on development team to build elite custom analog designs for Apple Silicon across various leading-edge technology nodes. The role involves transistor-level IC design implementation, where the engineer will conduct feasibility studies, design circuit blocks, and document simulations for formal reviews. Key responsibilities include driving mask designs, running post-layout and top-level simulations, defining production test plans, and performing lab measurements to validate performance compliance. Required skills include expertise in bandgaps, opamps, switched-cap circuits, LDOs, oscillators, PLLs, and VGAs. The candidate must possess device physics knowledge and experience with C, Matlab, VerilogA, and Python modeling. This position solves technical challenges in connecting products to the physical world through high-precision mixed-signal design and chip integration.

What you'll do

  • Conduct transistor-level feasibility studies for various Analog and Mixed-Signal circuit blocks.
  • Design circuit blocks and document simulation and verification for formal design reviews.
  • Drive mask design to implement layout views and lead layout reviews.
  • Run post-layout and top-level simulations to verify full system integration.
  • Define production and bench-level test plans for silicon components.
  • Perform lab measurements to validate that performance meets technical specifications.
  • Review yield and lab test results to identify and implement bug fixes.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong device physics knowledge as it applies to analog IC design.
  • Track record of delivering silicon IPs with complete architecture, design, verification, and validation experience.
  • Solid understanding of bandgaps, bias, opamps, switched-cap circuits, LDOs, low power oscillators, PLLs, VGAs, feedback, and compensation techniques.
  • In-depth knowledge and analytical understanding of mixed-signal design techniques.
  • Experience in top level verification methods incorporating block level schematics and behavioral models.
  • Experience in C/Matlab/VerilogA/Python modeling.
  • Hands-on experience using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, signal and generators to validate analog designs.
  • Good knowledge of high precision techniques in presence of device mismatch (preferred).
  • Understanding of data converter architectures and design trade-offs (preferred).
  • Experience in design for ESD compliance and safety (preferred).
  • Experience in chip integration working with Digital Design and Physical Design teams (preferred).
  • Experience in ASIC design in different application fields (preferred).
  • Experience working with production test engineers to produce test plans and design for testability details (preferred).
