Apple Digital Design Engineer

Join our team at Apple developing the always-on SoC's that are at the heart of all of Apple's major hardware products. You will be responsible for creating the digital IP's for Apple's system management and power conversion IC's. You will work closely with Apple's product teams and system architects in setting the block level specifications and then implementing the designs. You will own the creation of the blocks, taking them through the concept, implementation, and physical design steps, and then into mass production. The team creates both digital-only and mixed signal IP's and integrates them into stand alone system control IC's. The mixed signal IP's include industry leading power conversion and telemetry blocks developed in close collaboration with the analog design team. We have a close-knit, prolific team looking to add enthusiastic digital design engineers to develop the new IP's required for our next generation system control IC's, which will be designed into all of Apple's current and future hardware products. We pride ourselves for being an especially diverse team that values new approaches to deliver creativity, high productivity, and industry leading results. Join us in creating the "surprise and delight" in Apple's next generation of products.
