The right candidate will thrive in this type of environment. Dynamic, smart people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. Will you help us design the next generation of revolutionary Apple products?

Description

In this role, you will perform timing analysis on custom design circuits, delivery timing views to integration teams, as well as develop custom logic design in analog/mixed-signal circuits. You will work closely with custom design engineers, and cross-functional teams at the silicon and module levels.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree with a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience.

• Solid understanding of timing analysis concepts such as setup/hold time calculation, POCV on timing paths, timing constraints, transistor-level delay characterization, and rise/fall time balancing.

• Experience of timing analysis and verification in high-speed design such as SerDes and ADC.

• In-depth knowledge and analytical understanding of mixed-signal design techniques.

• Strong track record of delivering silicon IPs with design and verification.

• Proficiency in circuit modeling and simulation, including SPICE models and worst-case corner selection.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with STA tools such as NanoTime, PrimeTime, or Tempus.

• Experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design from architecture to fundamental implementation.

• Experience in SRAM design.

• Experience in timing / SDC constraints generation and management.

• Good understanding of tool algorithms for noise glitch, cross-talk delay, and margining with POCV.

• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Tcl or Perl).
