Design, develop, and launch next-generation Touch Technologies in Apple products.
The Touch Technology team develops cutting-edge Touch solutions and technologies that are central to Apple’s products, including the iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, and more. The key goal of the Touch Technology team is to enable the world’s best multi-touch user-experience. The team features a collaborative and hands-on environment that fosters engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.
The ASIC Digital architect is a key architect responsible for analyzing the application and coming up with cost and power optimized digital for the touch and other sensing ASICs. These designs may include one or multiple processors and/or DSP cores and microarchitecture of custom control engines.
Description
You will be architecting Touch sensing systems and the ASICs required to realize them. You will be expected to take high level user requirements and create a realizable system that meets these goals. This will include high level modeling of proposed solutions, along with creating detailed specifications of the requirements. This is a highly cross-functional role, and you will work with others to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product.","responsibilities":"Create Touch sensor digital system architecture.
Develop high performance, low power signal processing architectures and sensing algorithms to achieve the best touch solutions.
Author detailed specifications, analyses, and characterization plans for touch system ASICs based on these architectures.
Define System-level and IC micro-architecture of complex digital and mixed-signal ASICs, including requirements for: ARM processing, memory, bus, and DSP sub-systems and Power Management, clocking, I/O interfaces, and peripherals
Optimize designs across multiple disciplines, including Hardware/Firmware design partitioning, trade-off assessments, design checking and tolerance analysis.
Contribute technical assessments to strategic decision-making relating to technology and investments.
Defect root cause analysis and resolution, including diligent bug database tracking.
Communicate program status, technical issues, risks, and mitigations plans, clearly and concisely.
Minimal business travel as needed to support product development.
Preferred Qualifications
