Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge? Do you thrive with pushing the limits of what's considered feasible? As part of an outstanding `team, you'll craft sophisticated, groundbreaking projects that deliver more performance in our products than ever before. You'll work across fields to transform improved hardware elements into a single, coordinated design. Join us, and you'll help us innovate new technologies that continually outperform the previous iterations! By collaborating with other product development groups across Apple, you'll push the industry boundaries of what wireless systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers worldwide. Our wireless SOC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development with a particular emphasis on highly energy efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation and FW/SW engineering.
Block level and top-level layout through full verification flow, including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM checking. Co-work with designers on block-level and top-level floorplanning. Layout review for power/gnd routing, electromigration, signal path check, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling. Top-level layout integration and verification, schedule management.As a RF layout engineer, you will be responsible for:
Detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks, including LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC/DAC, baseband filters, and bandgap/bias/LDO.BS and 10+ years of relevant industry experience. Good understanding of RC delay, electromigration, and coupling. Experience in custom RF/analog layout for radio transceivers with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS (16nm and lower with FinFet experience). Ability to recognize failure-prone circuit and layout structures and proactively work with circuit designers for the best approach to resolve problems. Excellent communication skills and ability to work with multi-functional teams.Knowledgeable in layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high-frequency routing. Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, and coupling. Understanding of guard rings, DNW, PN junctions, and sophisticated process effects such as LOD, WPE, etc. High level proficiency in interpretation of CALIBRE DRC, ERC, LVS, etc. in FinFet Technology. Extensive knowledge of CADENCE layout tools. Capability to lead other layout engineers for top-level integration. Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are a plus.
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.
