Job Title: Power Silicon Architect

This is an exciting opportunity to work on the forefront of new power management technologies with Apple, a company consistently bringing innovations in the industry.

In this position, you will be part of a team developing innovative concepts and key mixed-signal ICs which are implemented in display products used by many millions of people.

The position primarily involves advanced power architecture development and key power ICs for Apple's next generation products spanning watch, mobile phones, notebook computers, desktop computers, and other lines of products.

This is a unique opportunity for an "out of the box thinker" who can enable innovative technologies and superior integrations for next-generation power management systems in Apple display products.

This is a unique opportunity to work with the best display architects and system designers in Apple and shape its innovative products.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive innovative display power architecture/technology concepts and define PMICs from investigation, analysis, and design through successful product-level implementation.
  • Be a key member for Apple's display silicon architecture team for new ideas and architecture definition.
  • Develop new power architecture concepts for mobile devices/computers DC-DC voltage regulators.
  • Work with Apple cross-functional teams and power vendors, including silicon and magnetic vendors, for Apple IP-based custom PMIC definitions and developments.
  • Perform rigorous design reviews with silicon vendors and drive vendors to get the highest quality of products in a challenging schedule.
  • Provide design simulation, calculation, and analytical models for prediction of design concept outcomes, including control loop stability, transient responses, layout analysis, and parasitic extractions.
  • Provide PMIC specifications, simulation test cases, and validation test plans/results. Hands-on work in the lab is a must.
  • Provide smooth handoff of new architecture to the execution team with design analysis, risk assessments, mitigation plans, development lessons learned, and proof of concepts.
  • Perform competitive benchmarking.
  • Provide technical support for production issues, debug, and resolutions.
  • Conduct power seminars and training for cross-functional teams.
  • Lead innovation through exemplary behavior and teamwork.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of B.S. Degree in EE or related field and 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in power supply design.
  • Experience with DC-DC IC architectures, magnetic design, PCB layout, and/or state-of-the-art techniques for integration and efficiency optimizations.
  • Ability to use Spice and/or behavioral simulation tools, Matlab, MathCad, Cadence, and Excel mathematical analysis.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • M.S. in EE in power electronics. Ph.D. preferred.
  • Deep knowledge of silicon physics and silicon processes, including IC packaging technologies and DC-DC power conversion topologies, including control loops.
  • Strong analytical/problem-solving skills and ability to guide critical decisions.
  • Good understanding of thermals, mechanical, and packaging challenges.
  • Knowledge of high-volume manufacturing technologies and production variance.
  • Familiarity with challenges of mixed-signal ICs design.
  • Knowledge and experience with both analog and digital design with an emphasis on analog.
  • Ability to work well with cross-functional teams.

What We Offer:

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.
