Description

Imagine what you could do here at Apple? Together we could help craft the next generation of the world’s finest devices. New ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your career, and there's no telling what you could accomplish! We searching for a self-motivated engineer for the role of AMS Layout Designer. You will engage with forefront technology nodes to build outstanding custom analog designs used to connect our extraordinary products to the world as well as optimizing their performance. You will join a development team that values engineering excellence, creativity and innovation. You will become a valuable member of Apple's Japan Design Centre. Dynamic, smart people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. Will you help us design next revolutionary Apple products? DESCRIPTION You will be responsible to deliver a fully-verified, clean layout. This would include the following: - Designing sophisticated layouts for mixed signal and analog circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies. - Reviewing and analyzing floorplans and complex circuits with circuit designers. - Running a complete set of design verification tools available on AMS blocks. - Working with the circuit design team to plan/schedule work and negotiate any necessary layout tradeoffs as needed. - Interpreting LVS, DRC, and ERC reports to find the fastest way to complete the layout. - Exceeding engineering specifications and expectations by working closely with the design team. - Applying advanced CAD tools and mask design knowledge to deliver an accurate and robust layout that meets stringent matching performance, area, and power requirements. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Typically requires more than 5 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal layout design of deep sub-micron CMOS circuits. Experience implementing analog layouts to achieve tight matching, low noise, and low power consumption. Layouts may include analog blocks, resistors, capacitors, IO pads, ESD structures, etc. Solid understanding of layout techniques for handling IR drop, RC delay, electro-migration, and coupling capacitance. Understanding of guard-rings, DNW, PN junctions, and LDE (Layout Dependent Effect), and proactively work with circuit designers to identify the best approach. High-level proficiency in interpretation of Calibre DRC, LVS, ERC, etc., reports. Familiar with Layout CAD tools like Siemens Calibre and Cadence Virtuoso. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and able to work with multi-functional teams. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS Analog/mixed-signal layout design experience in CMOS high-voltage process. Scripting skills in PERL or SKILL are a plus. E-mail and verbal communication in English are considered a plus.
