Do you have a passion for crafting entirely new solutions? Do you love building without precedent? As part of our Digital group, you'll take imaginative and revolutionary ideas and determine how to turn them into reality. You and your team will apply engineering fundamentals and start from scratch if needed, bringing forward-thinking ideas to the real world. Your efforts will be groundbreaking, often literally. Join us, and you'll help design the tools that allow us to bring customers experiences they've never before envisioned. You will be part of an exciting silicon design group that is responsible for designing state-of-the-art ASICs. We have an extraordinary opportunity for Circuits Engineers to design and debug advanced custom digital megacells (SRAM memories, on-chip sensors, ML accelerators data path) used in a high performance / low power SOC. Imagine yourself at the center of our SOC design effort, collaborating with all fields, with a critical impact and playing a strategic role of getting functional products to millions of customers quickly. In this highly visible role, you will have the opportunity to be at the center of chip design effort working with many teams on critical impact issues to enable product ramp.Drive the silicon debug effort involving custom circuits. Work with circuit design teams to define the silicon characterization requirements Engage with the PE/DFT/FA teams to plan the silicon characterization/debug for the test chips and product chips. Perform design analysis, modeling/simulation, spice simulation, statistical analysis and silicon bring up. Work closely with the systems lab to reproduce the circuit behavior using MBIST, functional diags. Root cause analysis using various eFA and pFA techniques.BSEE/MSEE Experience in design of low voltages / low power custom circuits. Deep understanding of deep submicron device physics, leakage mechanisms, technology interactions with device behavior. Solid understanding of device matching, device noise sources (1/f, thermal), extrinsic noise sources (supply, jitter), and their impact on high precision circuit. Ability to conduct experiments during silicon debug, gathering and analyzing data; and utilize scripting to support efficient handling of the debug data. Proficiency in scripting languages (Python /Perl or others) and CAD automation tools. Knowledge of industry standard circuit and design tools.Experience in one or multiple of the following areas is highly desirable: SRAM circuits, custom circuit design, silicon debug.
We’re a diverse collection of thinkers and doers, continually reimagining what’s possible to help us all do what we love in new ways. The people who work here have reinvented entire industries with the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, as well as with services, including iTunes, the App Store, Apple Music, and Apple Pay. And the same passion for innovation that goes into our products also applies to our practices — strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it.
There’s a place here for every kind of brilliant. Everyone here is an innovator, or an innovator-to-be, no matter what your team or your role. So bring your passion, courage, and original thinking and get ready to share it, because every new product, service, or feature we invent is the result of people working together to make each others’ ideas stronger. Innovation at this level depends on people who represent the variety of the human experience and inspire us with their own fresh perspectives. Together, we’ll do amazing work that can make a difference in people’s lives. Including your own. Learn more about working at Apple.
