About The Position

Apple’s Analog/Mixed Signal Design team is seeking a self-motivated engineer to work on leading-edge custom mixed-signal designs used in Apple products. The role involves timing analysis on custom design circuits, delivering timing views to integration teams, and developing custom logic design in analog/mixed-signal circuits. The engineer will work closely with custom design engineers and cross-functional teams at the silicon and module levels.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree.
• Solid understanding of timing analysis concepts, including setup/hold time calculation, POCV on timing paths, timing constraints, transistor-level delay characterization, and rise/fall time balancing.
• Experience in timing analysis and verification for high-speed designs such as SerDes and ADC.
• In-depth knowledge and analytical understanding of mixed-signal design techniques.
• Strong track record of delivering silicon IPs with design and verification.
• Proficiency in circuit modeling and simulation, including SPICE models and worst-case corner selection.

Nice To Haves

• Master’s degree with 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience with STA tools such as NanoTime, PrimeTime, or Tempus.
• Experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design from architecture through fundamental implementation.
• Experience in SRAM design.
• Experience in timing/SDC constraints generation and management.
• Good understanding of tool algorithms for noise glitch, cross-talk delay, and margining with POCV.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl.

Responsibilities

• Perform timing analysis on custom design circuits.
• Deliver timing views to integration teams.
• Develop custom logic design in analog/mixed-signal circuits.
• Collaborate with custom design engineers and cross-functional teams at the silicon and module levels.
