Job description

Apple is seeking a SerDes Design and Validation Engineer to lead the system validation of mixed-signal SerDes IP. The role involves designing, integrating, and validating high-performance analog and mixed-signal circuits for SerDes PHY applications. The engineer will work closely with production test teams and debug complex design issues while contributing to the development of analog DFT circuits. This position offers the opportunity to work on innovative products that will impact millions of customers.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
  • Experience in high-speed serial links.
  • Solid understanding of designing analog mixed-signal circuit blocks.
  • Knowledge of common high-speed SerDes protocols such as PCIe, USB, DP, and MPHY.
  • Hands-on experience with AMS IC development from definition to high-volume production.

Responsibilities

  • Own the SerDes system bring-up, validation, and debug processes.
  • Work with design teams to understand architecture and define DFT needs.
  • Be involved in mixed-signal verification tasks to understand SerDes operation.
  • Develop test plans and analyze data to ensure robust IP design.
  • Drive collaboration with production test teams to resolve design and system issues.

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.
