RFIC Layout Designer
Job Summary
Job Description
The Wireless SoC Radio Team designs state-of-the-art, highly energy-efficient CMOS radios from RF to bits. This role involves designing a wide range of RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks, including RF front-end amplifiers, data converters, baseband filters, phase-locked loops, crystal oscillators, and bandgap references. The team works on new technologies transforming user experience, driven by a vertically integrated engineering team. The RFIC Layout Designer will work closely with the RFIC design team to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP for complex SoC products, impacting Apple's radios in millions of products. Responsibilities include transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks, block-level layout through verification, co-working with designers on floorplanning, and layout reviews for critical aspects like power/ground routing, electromigration, signal path checks, and matching.
Must have:
- Transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks
- Block level layout through full verification flow
- Co-work with designers on block level floorplanning
- Layout review for power/gnd routing
- Layout review for electromigration
- Layout review for signal path check
- Layout review for differential and IQ matching
- Layout review for signal coupling

Job Details
The Wireless SoC Radio Team designs state-of-art highly energy efficient CMOS radios, from RF to bits. To deliver these radios, our team is responsible for the design of a wide range of RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks from RF front-end amplifiers to data converters, including baseband filters, baseband and RF phase-locked loops, crystal oscillators, and bandgap references. We are working on new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. In this role, you will work closely with the RFIC design team to layout and verify custom RF and analog IP for complex SoC products. You will have a critical impact on developing Apple’s state-of-the-art radios and getting them into hundreds of millions of products.
As an RFIC Layout Designer, you will be a key member of a RFIC team, researching, designing and bringing the next-generation of wireless technologies into high-volume production in advanced CMOS technology nodes. Responsibilities include: - Detailed transistor-level layout of RF and analog circuit blocks including LNA, mixers, PLL, LO generation, modulators, power amplifiers, ADC/DAC, baseband filters, and bandgap/bias/LDO. - Block level layout through full verification flow including extraction, DRC, LVS, and DFM checking. - Co-work with designers on block level floorplanning. - Layout review for power/gnd routing, electromigration, signal path check, differential and IQ matching, and signal coupling.
