Description

As a Sr. RFIC Integration engineer, you will be a key member of an RFIC design team, integrating and bringing the next-generation wireless SoCs into high-volume production at advanced CMOS technology nodes for Apple products.

Responsibilities

• Top level design including schematic hierarchy, floor planning, timing closure, and top-level releases to the SOC team.
• Close interaction with the RFIC and AMS IC designers, Modeling and DV teams in defining, modeling and simulating various static and dynamic modes of operation for the wireless transceiver.
• Overseeing the layout and verifying the design to ensure a successful tape-out.
• Collaborating with the SOC team, PHY, RTL, and PD team on the analog-digital interface, partitioning of the digital content, static and dynamic controls and registers within radio.
• Working closely with the CAD team on the release flows.
• Working with Program Managers to meet the deliverable timelines for various stages in a wireless product development.
• Cross functional collaboration with Platform Architecture, Systems, Digital Design and RF Hardware teams.
• Working closely with RF DVT team for a successful bring up of the chip, and support in the lab for debug and optimization when silicon is back.

Minimum Qualifications

• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Experience in the area of RFIC / AMS design with advanced CMOS technology nodes
• Deep understanding of RF, analog and mixed signal circuit design
• Direct tape out experience with one or more of the following blocks: ADCs and DACs, PLLs, baseband filters, Mixers, Power Amplifiers and LNAs.
• Familiarity with the integration flows and integration challenges of RF, Analog and Mixed Signal circuits with the Digital portion in an SOC.
• Working knowledge on timing analysis (STA) of analog to digital interface.
• Working knowledge on RTL, PnR, Modeling and Design verification flows

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD preferred or MS + 4 years of experience
• Familiarity with STA tools (NanoTime, PrimeTime) is highly desired.
• Experienced with mixed-signal mode verification methodologies including Verilog-AMS and behavioral modeling in Verilog-A and Verilog-D.
• Experience in wireless SoC products is highly desirable.
• Understanding of various architectures and line-ups in transceivers is desired.
• Familiarity with packaging effects, supply isolations, high frequency ESD structures, and circuit layout for optimum performance
