Apple’s PMU Hardware Tech team are responsible for delivering the power in a highly configurable and controlled way to the high end Apple SoCs, which power everything from Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple TV to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro. We have unique and exciting career opportunities for graduate and junior engineers interested in applying, and developing their knowledge designing Apple’s cutting-edge power management chips.
We are looking for a recent Graduate or Junior Digital Design Engineer, with the talent, ambition and passion, to innovate the way we design our next generation of power management silicon, to provide industry leading power efficiency, achieve customer expectations of device performance, battery efficiency, and welcome you to work among the industry’s best.
You will be part of a highly experienced team, delivering PMU silicon directly into next generation Apple products, working alongside our design verification, SoC platform architecture, and physical design teams, across multiple continents and time zones.
Description You will work within the Digital Design Team, creating requirements and specifications, collaborating with analog design, digital/mixed signal verification and architecture.
You will be responsible for design implementation/debug and also have the opportunity for block IP responsibility.
You will implement designs, ensuring alignment with analog control and performance expectations, balancing energy efficiency, performance and area constraints with project schedule, maintainability and coding guidelines.
You will use the Apple design flows, augmenting with custom scripting as required, understand/update assembly and higher level code.
As your design approaches functional completion, you will work closely with the verification team, to ensure the design behaves as intended. Once the chip is integrated into the system, you may be simulating and debugging issues with the wider development and validation teams.
