You match the following Apple's candidate preferences
Employers are more likely to interview you if you match these preferences:
- BSEE with 10+ years of proven experience.
- Work on the development of high-performance and high-speed AMS circuits used in SerDes PHY.
- Evaluate different circuit topologies for specific product requirements (e.g., Rx, CDR, Tx, bias generator, high-speed clock generation and low-jitter distribution, phase interpolator, DLL, VCO, LDO) with best in class power, performance, and area (PPA).
- Lead discussions with multi-functional teams (e.g., architecture, SIPI, packaging, board design, DFT, ESD) to create and drive block-level specifications, mixed-signal implementations and behavioral modeling.
- Work closely with SOC teams to deliver IP views and ensure they meet the quality standards.
- Interact with peers/management to communicate progress, discuss new ideas and drive new implementations/concepts.
- Deep understanding of AMS design with experience in high-speed serial links.
- Solid understanding of designing AMS circuit blocks including Bandgap, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, amplifiers, comparators, switched-cap circuits, ADCs, DACs, Oscillators, Filters.
- Understanding of analog mixed-signal concepts like mismatch mitigation, linearity, stability, low-power and low-noise techniques.
- Deep understanding and experience with digitally assisted analog design concepts (e.g. background calibrations, LMS based adaptive loops).
- Proven experience working on system and architecture teams to drive block-level and IP requirements.
- Proven track record working with large teams and guiding junior engineers.
- Experience with high speed digital circuits (e.g., serializer, deserializer, counters, dividers, etc.) with solid understanding of digital design concepts.
- Experience and proven understanding of Tx/Rx equalization techniques and circuits (e.g. CTLE, DFE, de-emphasis) for 20+ Gbps NRZ and PAM applications.
- Experience with EQ adaptation methods and circuit interactions to improve PPA.
- Solid understanding of CDR architectures and implementations.
- Experience in Analog Mixed Signal circuit modeling and performance evaluation (e.g. SystemVerilog, Matlab, Python, VerilogAMS).
- Hands-on experience to drive lab testing, debug and data analysis.
- Hands-on experience in advanced CMOS technologies, design with FinFet technology.
- Hands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production including layout supervision, bench evaluation, correlation, and characterization.
- Concepts of timing closure and related industry tools (e.g., Nanotime, Primetime).
- Concepts of IP delivery and quality checks.
- Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, DP, MPHY) is helpful.
- Skills in scripting and automation to improve efficiency are highly desirable.
