  • Solid understanding of designing analog mixed signal circuit blocks is necessary.
  • Hands-on experience in lab and production testing, debug, and data analysis is required.
  • Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols like PCIe, USB, DP, and MPHY is highly desired.

Responsibilities

  • Own the SerDes system bring-up, validation, and debug processes.
  • Verify basic operations and analyze robustness and margins in the system.
  • Collaborate with design teams to understand architecture and define DFT needs.
  • Engage in mixed-signal verification tasks to understand SerDes operation.
  • Drive AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production.

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.
