Digital Circuit Design Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Develop circuits which go onto the chip. Perform analysis, modeling, spice simulation, statistical design and margin verification across PVT. Work with the layout team to complete the design and oversee the layout quality. Develop circuit methodology to achieve design quality metrics. Maintain low voltages/low power custom circuits, digital on chip sensors and time to digital converter (TDC) design.

Utilize tools for circuit design, static timing analysis, IR and power flows. Analyze pre and post silicon data to root-cause circuit issues, if any. Develop transistor aging methodology using spice simulations
