Job description

In this high-impact role, you will work with a team focused on developing System on Chips (SoCs) and defining the end-to-end signal and power integrity strategy for high-speed SerDes. Your expertise will ensure robust interconnect performance from silicon to system. You will guide technical direction across various teams and lead system-level trade-off analyses. This position requires deep knowledge of SerDes technologies and modern interconnect protocols.

Requirements

  • BS degree with 20+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 20+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Deep expertise in system-level SIPI for high-speed SerDes (112G/224G and beyond).
  • Proven experience architecting solutions for high-performance interconnects using standards such as Ethernet, PCIe, UAL, and CXL.
  • Expertise in end-to-end channel modeling and link budget analysis, including statistical and time-domain simulation.
  • In-depth understanding of SerDes TX/RX equalization techniques, clocking, and power delivery trade-offs.
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams and driving technical consensus across various groups.
  • Experience designing interconnects for large-scale systems in data center or high-performance computing environments.
  • Familiarity with emerging interconnect technologies, including co-packaged optics and advanced packaging.
  • Familiarity with system-level power integrity and thermal co-design for large-scale, high-power ASICs.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the end-to-end signal and power integrity architecture for high-speed SerDes interconnects.
  • Guide technical direction across various teams.
  • Lead system-level trade-off analyses.
  • Ensure design robustness through advanced modeling and validation.

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.
