Description
During the architectural stage you will work with world-class architects and IC designers on next generation wireless chipset architecture, including Power, Digital, Analog, and Clock Management. During development, you will drive schematics, layout, and chipset bring-up of both development and form factor HW. You will run SIPI simulation and validation to verify your own designs. You will work with multi-functional teams on HW/SW/Coexistence issues that are often seen only with the scale and volume of an Apple product. You will also have the full weight of the world’s leading contract manufacturers behind you in factory prototype support. This role also requires heavy cross-functional collaboration with other Apple teams (application processor, system integration, RF, battery, sensors, iOS, etc.) and therefore you will also maintain a firm grasp of the entire product landscape outside of wireless design.To name a few of our core deliverables: - Signal integrity and power integrity (SIPI) simulation and validation- Power management system designs and validation- Clock management design and validations- Wireless system integration, schematic, PCB layout, BOM, and constraints, for both development platforms and for consumer products - High-speed and low-speed digital interfaces designs and validations- Failure analysis for wireless systems on our prototypes
Key Qualifications
- BSEE required, MSEE is preferred
- Strong electrical engineering fundamentals
- Experience with mobile platform system design, system integration and/or high-volume consumer electronics design preferred
- Experience in schematic capture, layout design and review
- Experience in signal integrity and power integrity simulation; experience with SIwave, HFSS, ADS, etc.
- Experience with voltage regulators, LDO, switch mode power supplies (SMPS)
- Experience with high-speed and low-speed digital interfaces, e.g. PCIe, SPMI, MIPI RFFE, I2C, UART, JTAG, etc.
- Experience in bench-level design verification with high-speed oscilloscopes preferred. Experience with J-BERT, network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, phase noise analyzer nice to have.
- Experience with clock and timing devices, e.g. crystal resonator, TCXO, crystal oscillator preferred
- Experience with wireless chipset, e.g. Cellular, WiFi/BT, GNSS, NFC is a plus
- Experience with jitter is a plus
- Strong problem solving and analytical skills
- Position may require some international travel
Education & Experience
B.S. and 3+ years of relevant industry experience
