Role Number: 200652699-0836

Summary

The Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) team is seeking a self-motivated Lead Micro Architect to drive the definition of next-generation IPs. These AMS IPs will be integrated into Apple silicon, delivering breakthrough power efficiency and performance across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

Description

In this role, you will define the micro architecture of AMS IPs and ensure designs meet rigorous performance requirements. This includes reviewing analog and digital circuits, and collaborating with silicon evaluation and design verification teams to establish expected system behavior. You will lead debug efforts during system bring-up and factory testing, and partner with signal integrity engineers to define system-level requirements.

Minimum Qualifications

• The ideal candidate brings hands-on expertise in architecture, design, and production across high-precision and ultra-low-power analog and mixed-signal circuits, data converter architectures, and digitally-assisted analog techniques.

• Proficiency in Matlab, Python, Simulink, and VerilogA modeling

• Strong grasp of AMS IP architectures and design tradeoffs

• Ability to architect solutions meeting challenging noise, linearity, power, and area requirements

• Familiarity with AMS design flows and chip assembly techniques

• Understanding of adaptation, optimization, and calibration algorithms

• Proven experience working cross-functionally with design, layout, and production test engineers

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Experience in system-level design and performance trade-off analysis

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of DSP concepts and applications

• Familiarity with machine learning concepts as applied to AMS systems

• Experience in firmware or embedded software development as applied to AMS systems

• BS and a minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience
