Analog IC Design Intern

Summary
At Apple, we work every day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a forward-thinking and unusually creative IC Designer.

Description
We are looking for an analog/mixed-signal IC design engineer with in-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art analog IC design & verification tools. As a member of our dynamic group, you will have the rare and exciting opportunity to craft upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers every single day.

Our AMS team works on state-of-the-art analog front-end and data converter IPs.

Responsibilities

• As Analog IC Design Intern you will support investigations of advanced circuit architectures or design methodologies and benchmark them against existing solutions. You will gain insight in industry standard IC design tools and methodologies, and experience in analog design in advanced CMOS technologies.

Minimum Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of transistor level design
• Knowledge of schematic design and validation methodology using Cadence Virtuoso
• Solid understanding of analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, filters, bandgap references, biasing circuits, LDO regulators, OpAmps, comparators and switched-cap circuits
• Deep knowledge of analog/mixed-signal design techniques such as small-signal analysis, feedback loop theory and noise analysis
• Deep knowledge of analog/mixed-signal concepts such as stability, linearity, mismatch mitigation, low-power and low-noise techniques
• Experience with Matlab or Python is a plus
• Experience in the architectural design and system-level modeling of a complete analog/mixed-signal subsystem (e.g. as part of a PhD thesis) is a strong plus
• Fluent in English

Preferred Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in PhD degree program in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent.

At Apple, we're not all the same. And that's our greatest strength. We draw on the differences in who we are, what we've experienced, and how we think. Because to create products that serve everyone, we believe in including everyone. Therefore, we are committed to treating all applicants fairly and equally. We will work with applicants to make any reasonable accommodations.

At Apple, we believe accessibility is a fundamental human right. You’ll find that idea reflected in everything here — in our culture, our benefits and our digital tools. By welcoming as many perspectives as possible, we help you build a career where you feel like you belong.
