As an RFIC Layout Designer, you will be an integral part of an RFIC team focused on advancing RF analog circuit integration for wireless transceivers. You will collaborate with skilled engineers to tackle layout challenges and improve methodologies. Your work will involve detailed custom block layout and verification in advanced CMOS technology nodes. This role directly impacts the development of Apple's next-generation wireless products.

• 1+ year minimum related experience required.
• Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, IR drop, ESD, latch-up, and coupling.
• Understanding of guard rings, deep N-wells, PN junctions, and advanced process effects such as LOD, WPE, and DFM.
• Prior experience crafting custom layouts at the chip, block, and device levels, particularly for RF high-frequency circuits.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams.
• Experience in custom RF/analog layout for radio transceivers with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS technologies (16nm, 7nm, and beyond).
• High-level proficiency in interpretation of Calibre DRC, ERC, and LVS in FinFET technology.
• Knowledgeable in layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high-frequency routing.
• Knowledge of Cadence layout tools.

• Work closely with the RFIC design team to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP.
• Perform detailed custom block layout including floorplanning, placement, routing, and verification for high-frequency RF circuits.
• Verify and refine layouts through simulation to meet design requirements.
• Diagnose sophisticated verification and PDK issues using Cadence and Calibre.

• 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.
