About the role

Design, develop, and deliver advanced mixed-signal ASICs for Apple's Touch Technology team, focusing on analog front-end architecture and system-level performance for high-volume touch sensing across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more.

Responsibilities

  • Define and develop analog front-end (AFE) and mixed-signal ASIC architectures for high-performance, low-power touch sensing applications
  • Author detailed micro-architecture specifications, performance analyses, and characterization plans
  • Build high-level behavioral models to evaluate architectural trade-offs and validate system performance against product requirements
  • Lead cross-disciplinary trade-off assessments spanning power, performance, area, and manufacturability across process corners
  • Contribute technical expertise to strategic roadmap planning and technology investment decisions
  • Partner with circuit design, digital architecture, software, and product teams to ensure seamless system integration
  • Perform root cause analysis and drive resolution of silicon performance issues from bench characterization through mass production
  • Minimal business travel as needed to support product development

Qualifications

  • Experience in analog and mixed-signal ASIC architecture, such as AFE design, ADC/DAC topologies, noise analysis, and signal chain optimization.
  • BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience
  • Proven track record of defining and taping out high-volume, complex mixed-signal ICs from architecture through production
  • Strong foundation in system-level design, IC micro-architecture definition, and requirements development for mixed-signal ASICs
  • Experience with IC bring-up, silicon characterization, and debug at the system level
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Phython, or equivalent high-level modeling and simulation tools
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering
