About the job

Requirements
  • A Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical and Computer Engineering and at least 10 years of relevant experience.
  • A proven track record in analog and mixed-signal intellectual property design or design engineering management in the analog and mixed-signal space.
Responsibilities
  • Drive the program lifecycle for complex mixed-signal intellectual property and System-on-Chip designs, ensuring alignment from concept to tape-out.
  • Partner closely with foundational vendors and silicon foundries to co-develop proprietary hardware solutions tailored for next-generation products.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to define requirements for advanced test structures and implement robust testing strategies.
  • Act as the central hub connecting integrated circuit design, signal integrity/power integrity, operations, tooling, and legal to ensure all program dependencies, compliance, and technical gates are met.
  • Lead and synchronize global engineering efforts, managing communication and deliverables across multiple international time zones.
  • Drive the end-to-end development of high-speed analog and mixed-signal intellectual properties, including data converters, phase-locked loops, and serializer/deserializer interfaces, from early concept through mass production.
  • Ensure quality, schedule, and successful delivery across the System-on-Chip portfolio.
  • Coordinate across System-on-Chip integration, integrated circuit design, System-on-Chip physical design, System-on-Chip design verification, computer-aided design, software, hardware, and legal.

  • Distill complex technical information into clear communication, identify risks, develop mitigation strategies, and align diverse cross-functional stakeholders to deliver hardware milestones.
Desired Qualifications
  • Extensive hands-on design expertise in analog and mixed-signal intellectual properties for serializer/deserializer interfaces, low-power double-data-rate memory, high-bandwidth memory, phase-locked loops, and low-dropout regulators across multiple technology nodes.
  • Proven leadership in delivering high-reliability analog and mixed-signal intellectual properties for data center infrastructure at scale.
  • Demonstrated ability to define and drive multi-generational intellectual property roadmaps in alignment with product strategy and business objectives.
  • An established track record of executive-level influence and stakeholder management across large, matrixed organizations.
  • Deep expertise in advanced electronic design automation tools, intellectual property development methodologies, and System-on-Chip integration across cutting-edge technology nodes for consumer and data center platforms.
  • A history of proactive risk management and real-time crisis leadership in high-complexity, high-visibility programs with direct executive accountability.
  • Experience with optical technologies, uLED, silicon photonics, uVCSEL, and their applications to System-on-Chips is a strong plus.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Apple reported $109.4 billion fiscal Q3 2026 revenue, its strongest June quarter ever.
  • India revenue topped $10 billion in fiscal 2026, despite softer smartphone shipments.
  • Reuters on September 9, 2026 said Apple targets 40% of the foldable niche by 2027.

What critics are saying

  • Apple faces India CCPA scrutiny since September 15, 2026 over iOS 18 repair costs.
  • OpenAI’s July 2026 countersuit and 400 ex-Apple hires intensify talent leakage and trade-secret risk.
  • A $1,999 Duo prices out mainstream buyers; Samsung and Android foldables already dominate.

What makes Apple unique

  • John Ternus launched iPhone Duo September 9, 2026; Apple finally joined foldables.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro goes on sale with prices up to $3,000 and new foldable Duo model

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max went on sale Friday, with customers queuing at stores worldwide. The devices start at $1,199 and $1,299 respectively, featuring a reimagined camera with DSLR-like aperture for improved low-light performance. The launch coincides with the release of Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, priced up to $3,000. The new phones can detect AI-generated photos by creating unalterable Reference Images alongside edited versions. New CEO John Ternus, who recently succeeded Tim Cook, visited Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York, greeting customers and signing autographs. The phones debut the upgraded Siri AI, powered by Google Gemini models, which can access information across messages, photos and emails, and draft communications.

Apple eyes $450 by 2027 on Siri AI bets despite memory cost squeeze

Apple reported $109.42 billion in fiscal Q3 revenue, marking its ninth consecutive earnings-per-share beat. CEO Tim Cook said iPhone growth has been running at 22% recently. Shares are up 23.19% year-to-date but trade below levels some analysts believe a full Siri AI cycle could justify. The stock currently sits at $334.31, with Wall Street's consensus target at $325.66. One analyst projects a base case of $378.88 and a bull case of $431.31, suggesting potential upside. However, Cook warned of significant memory price increases and supply constraints expected in the September quarter across iPhone, Mac, and iPad products. Gross margin in Q3 received a roughly 2-percentage-point boost from one-time tariff refunds. The company faces ongoing margin pressure concerns heading into 2027.

Apple's India iPhone prices surge 44% above US rates, risking $10B market growth

Apple unveiled its iPhone Duo foldable smartphone and iPhone 18 Pro models, marking a significant redesign. However, the company has substantially increased prices in India, potentially alienating customers in this key growth market. Apple's India revenue exceeded $10 billion in fiscal year 2026, up from $9 billion the previous year. This growth came despite a 7.9% decline in overall Indian smartphone shipments. The price increases in India are considerably steeper than in the US. The iPhone 18 Pro base model costs INR 164,900 ($1,725), 44% more than its US price. The iPhone 17 saw a 21% price increase to $1,045, whilst the cheapest model, iPhone 17e, now costs $836. These hikes stem from import duties and component taxes. With the Indian smartphone market showing signs of weakness, the steep price increases could challenge Apple's growth trajectory in the region.

Nvidia, Fortinet, Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple positioned to weather higher interest rates

The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points yesterday, bringing the federal funds target range to 3.75%–4.00%. This monetary tightening could pressure economic growth and compress valuations in the technology sector. However, companies with strong balance sheets, robust cash flow, and minimal dependence on external financing are better positioned to weather higher rates. Five tech stocks stand out in this regard: Nvidia, Fortinet, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Apple. Nvidia generated $24.1 billion in operating cash flow in Q2 and held roughly $56.6 billion in cash and marketable debt securities. Fortinet produced $966 million in free cash flow on $2.05 billion of Q2 revenue. Alphabet ended Q2 with approximately $242.5 billion in cash and equivalents.

OpenAI denies Apple trade secret theft, calls dispute 'a mess of Apple's own making

OpenAI has denied Apple's allegations of trade secret theft in a US District Court filing, calling the dispute "a mess of Apple's own making". Apple sued OpenAI and two former employees in July, accusing them of misappropriating trade secrets related to hardware design and manufacturing. OpenAI argued that California law permits employees to move freely between employers. Court filings reveal OpenAI has hired roughly 400 former Apple employees for its hardware initiative. The lawsuit marks an escalation between the companies, who partnered two years ago to integrate ChatGPT into Siri. That relationship has since deteriorated as Apple shifted towards using Google's Gemini to power its redesigned Siri instead of deepening ties with OpenAI.
