Job description
Are you passionate about advancing the boundaries of RF analog circuit integration in advanced technology nodes for wireless transceivers? Do you thrive on innovation and improving RF layout methodologies? As an RFIC Layout Designer, you will be a key member of an RFIC team, tackling daily layout challenges, collaborating with skilled RFIC design and layout engineers, and continuously improving products that enrich user experiences worldwide.
Description
As an RFIC Layout Designer, you will work closely with the RFIC design team to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP in advanced CMOS technology nodes. In this role, you will perform detailed custom block layout including floorplanning, placement, routing, and verification for high-frequency RF circuits. You will verify and refine layouts through simulation to meet design requirements and diagnose sophisticated verification and PDK issues using Cadence and Calibre. You will have a direct impact on delivering Apple's next-generation wireless products into the hands of hundreds of millions of users.","responsibilities":"Detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks including LNAs, mixers, VCOs, PLLs, LO generation, power amplifiers, and bandgap/bias/LDO.
Block-level layout through the full verification flow including extraction, DRC, LVS, ERC, and DFM checking.
Co-work with designers on block-level floorplanning, placement, and routing.
Layout review for power/ground routing, electromigration, signal path check, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling.
Diagnose sophisticated verification (DRC/LVS) and PDK issues using Cadence and Calibre.
Preferred Qualifications
Solid understanding of RC delay, electromigration, IR drop, ESD, latch-up, and coupling.
Understanding of guard rings, deep N-wells, PN junctions, and advanced process effects such as LOD, WPE, and DFM.
Prior experience crafting custom layouts at the chip, block, and device levels, particularly for RF high-frequency circuits.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams.
Experience in custom RF/analog layout for radio transceivers with extensive knowledge of deep sub-micron CMOS technologies (16nm, 7nm, and beyond).
High-level proficiency in interpretation of Calibre DRC, ERC, and LVS in FinFET technology.
Knowledgeable in layout techniques for device matching, minimizing parasitics, RF shielding, and high-frequency routing.
Knowledge of Cadence layout tools.
Minimum Qualifications
1+ year minimum related experience required.
Pay & Benefits
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 $29.58 and $55.90/hr, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
