iPhone Analog Design Engineer
Summary
The iPhone Division is seeking an enthusiastic Analog Design Engineer to join a creative and energetic engineering team developing future iPhone products. You will be responsible for the design, implementation, and integration of a variety of analog function blocks and subsystems — including power, audio, battery management, and sensors.
This is a great opportunity to be at the focal point of many cross-functional interactions with Apple's internal hardware/software teams, contract manufacturer teams, and IC vendor teams throughout different development stages. We expect familiarity with portable, low-power consumer electronics, preferably in a high-volume, high-quality product environment.
Description
This role requires strong analog and mixed-signal fundamentals, including a deep understanding of noise, linearity, and signal integrity in mixed-signal systems. You should be well-versed in mixed-signal building blocks such as op-amps, filters, ADCs, DACs, and output drivers, as well as low-power sensor and sensor-interface circuits. Hands-on experience in prototyping, characterization, and debugging of mixed-signal hardware is essential.
Responsibilities
- Participate in datasheet drafting and reviews for a variety of ICs
- Follow through the full IC design cycle: design review, bring-up, bench characterization, and bug tracking
- Work with multi-functional teams for function block system integration, including schematic and layout reviews
- Support production test, manufacturing, system validation, and troubleshooting
- Perform hardware prototyping and demonstration
Minimum Qualifications
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
- 2+ years of industry experience
- Strong analog/mixed-signal fundamentals: noise, linearity, signal integrity in mixed-signal systems
- Deep understanding of mixed-signal building blocks: op-amps, filters, ADCs/DACs, output drivers
- Familiarity with low-power electronics, sensors, and sensor-interface circuits
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, characterization, and debugging of mixed-signal hardware
- Excellent interpersonal skills with strong verbal and written communication
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience across multiple analog domains: power management, audio analog circuits, sensor interfaces, or battery management
- Exposure to IC definition, IP development, and cross-functional collaboration with software, mechanical, and thermal teams
- MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent
