About The Position

At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. 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 Apple’s customers every single day. In this role, you will be involved in specifications of analog portions of IC, behavioral modeling to validate architectures, and transistor-level feasibility studies for various blocks in ADC/DAC. You will also be responsible for crafting blocks and documenting design towards formal design reviews, driving mask design to implement layout view of designs, and performing top-level simulations to validate top-level integration. Additionally, you will define production/bench-level test-plans, take lab measurements to validate analog designs, drive/review yield/lab test results to drive bug fixes, and ensure design for ESD compliance.
