About the role

Senior power management analog design lead at Apple, responsible for defining, developing and productizing next-generation mobile power solutions by coordinating with Systems, Platform teams and external vendors across silicon and IP, from concept to production.

Responsibilities

  • Work with Systems and Platform teams to establish silicon requirements.
  • Lead efforts that develop, integrate, characterize, and test devices that include power regulators, chargers, backlight drivers, boost converters.
  • Deliver first revision functional silicon and production worthy silicon per system requirements, on schedule.
  • Work with external vendors to ensure innovative design practices, methodologies and processes are in place to produce quality results.
  • Work together with vendors to manage the development of new process technologies and next generation architectures and circuit designs.
  • Ensure designs are accurately verified, validated, and tested for long-term reliability.
  • Support multi-functional engineering teams for system validation and mass production approval.
  • This role involves approximately 20% travel.

Qualifications

  • BS degree.
  • Experience with power topologies such as buck, boost, buck-boost, charge pumps, LDOs.
  • MS degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Understanding of control architectures such as current mode, voltage mode, and hysteretic mode for applications include DC/DC converters, LED drivers, battery management circuits, LDOs, temperature sensors.
  • Understanding of semiconductor device physics, device safe-operating area (SOA), and power transistors used for high frequency switching.
  • Solid understanding of DC/DC power converter modeling techniques using any of the following simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simplis, PSIM, or Spectre.
