IC Designer, Power Management

Summary
Did you know that you could design custom analog integrated circuits at Apple? Our team is looking to hire inventive analog designers for the purpose of power management ICs! You can work with a team with dynamic strengths to push the limits of DC-DC converters. Partner with us to develop bucks, boosts, buck-boosts, charge pumps, chargers, or LDOs. Additionally, this role covers IC areas closely related to power converter IPs such as mixed signal circuits, switch-cap, filters, data converters, references, input-output circuits, and clock circuits just to name a few. As a power management IC designer, you can also work with system engineers and architects. Together, you will work on exciting problems and help build amazing products. If so, we are looking for you!



Description
In this role, you will be responsible for transistor-level designs of various blocks in ICs including both DC-DC converters and related auxiliary IPs. You may start with early feasibility studies of new concepts/designs and carry them through implementation, simulation, layout, and production.

We work in a team environment to build sophisticated power management solutions for Apple products. Collaboration within and outside of our group is an integral part of our work:

•\tBuild concepts to overcome engineering problems in complex power systems.
•\tDesign blocks and documenting design towards formal design reviews.
•\tCollaborate with mask design to construct layout collaterals.
•\tNavigate through optimizations of power, area and performance or power IC designs.
•\tDevelop subcell and IP-level simulations to validate designs.
•\tDefine production and bench evaluation plans for post-silicon activities.
•\tTake bench measurements to validate your own IC designs.
•\tReview bench and production test results to drive bug fixes.
•\tComplete designs considering ESD compliance of the circuits.
