Job description

As an RFIC Layout Engineer, you will focus on advancing RF analog circuit integration for wireless transceivers. You will collaborate with skilled design and layout teams to tackle daily layout challenges and improve methodologies. Your work will involve laying out detailed custom blocks for high-frequency RF circuits and verifying layouts through simulation. This role requires a deep understanding of sub-micron CMOS technologies and sophisticated process effects.

Requirements

  • BS degree with 10+ years of industry experience
  • Deep knowledge of sub-micron CMOS technologies (16nm, 7nm, and beyond)
  • Proficiency with FinFET structures, guard-rings, deep N-wells, and PN junctions
  • Familiarity with sophisticated process effects such as LOD, WPE, and DFM
  • Understanding of trade-offs involving matching, parasitic effects, and high-frequency routing
  • Experience in sophisticated DRC, ERC, LVS verification, and debugging
  • Prior experience in crafting custom layouts for RF high-frequency circuits is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Lay out detailed custom blocks, including floorplanning, placement, routing, and verification for high-frequency RF circuits
  • Verify and refine layouts through simulation to meet design requirements
  • Diagnose sophisticated verification (DRC/LVS) and PDK issues using Cadence and Calibre
  • Collaborate with engineering design and layout teams to understand design concepts and constraints
  • Propose solutions to streamline layout tasks and finalize methodologies

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
