Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.\nDescription\nAPPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Develop circuits which go onto the chip. Perform analysis, modeling, spice simulation, statistical design and margin verification across PVT. Work with the layout team to complete the design and oversee the layout quality. Develop circuit methodology to achieve design quality metrics. Maintain low voltages/low power custom circuits, digital on chip sensors and time to digital converter (TDC) design. Utilize tools for circuit design, static timing analysis, IR and power flows. Analyze pre and post silicon data to root-cause circuit issues, if any. Develop transistor aging methodology using spice simulations\n40 hours/week. At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $174,149 - $218,000/yr and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.\nPAY & BENEFITS: Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple’s discretionary employee stock programs.
