Analog Layout Engineer

Apple Silicon Engineering Group is seeking Analog Layout Engineers to work on the next generation of Apple's systems-on-chip (SOCs). These SOCs, with multi-billion transistors, serve as the core of iPhones and iPads. The focus is on Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) circuits, including SerDes for data communication, PLLs for clock generation, and sensors for measuring various physical quantities.

Analog Layout Engineers play a crucial role in transforming design ideas into silicon, collaborating with circuit designers, and using sophisticated tools and methodologies. The work involves crafting custom analog designs to optimize the performance of world-class products. This fast-paced work environment offers endless learning opportunities and collaboration across dedicated multidisciplinary teams.

As part of the AMS layout team, responsibilities include:

• Crafting sophisticated layout for mixed signal and analog circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies
• Reviewing and analyzing floorplans and intricate circuits
• Running complete sets of design verification tools on AMS blocks
• Working with circuit design engineers to plan/schedule work and coordinate vital layout tradeoffs
• Interpreting LVS, DRC, and ERC reports to find the fastest way to complete layout
• Exceeding engineering specifications and expectations by working closely with the circuit design team
• Applying sophisticated CAD tools and mask design knowledge to deliver accurate and robust layout that matches performance, area, and power requirements

This role offers the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology, accelerate career growth, and contribute to the development of revolutionary Apple products in a dynamic, innovative work culture.
