Job description

This role at Apple involves developing circuits that are integrated onto chips, focusing on low voltage and low power custom circuits. The position requires collaboration with layout teams to ensure design quality and involves extensive analysis and simulation of circuit performance. The engineer will also be responsible for developing methodologies to assess transistor aging and verify design margins. This position is based in Cupertino, California, with potential opportunities in various locations across the USA.

Requirements

  • Master's degree or foreign equivalent in Electrical and Computer Engineering or related field.
  • Experience with schematic or layout editors, including Virtuoso, for CMOS circuits.
  • Knowledge of HSPICE or FastSPICE simulations for circuit functionality and reliability.
  • Experience in performing silicon data analysis to confirm expected circuit behavior.
  • Ability to define transistor aging methodology and perform HSPICE simulations.
  • Proficiency in digital logic design for high performance circuits.
  • Experience in analog circuit design for high accuracy and power management integrated circuits.
  • Familiarity with Static Timing Analysis tools for timing characterization of integrated circuits.

Responsibilities

  • Develop circuits that integrate onto chips while maintaining low voltages and low power consumption.
  • Perform analysis, modeling, and simulation to verify circuit performance across various conditions.
  • Collaborate with layout teams to ensure design quality and oversee layout quality.
  • Analyze pre and post silicon data to identify and resolve circuit issues.
  • Develop methodologies for transistor aging and conduct simulations to verify design margins.

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.
