Digital Architect

Design, develop, and launch next-generation Touch Technologies in Apple products.

The Touch Technology team develops cutting-edge Touch solutions and technologies that are central to Apple's products, including the iPhone, iPad, MacBooks, and more. The key goal of the Touch Technology team is to enable the world's best multi-touch user-experience. The team features a collaborative and hands-on environment that fosters engineering excellence, creativity, and innovation.

The ASIC Digital architect is a key architect responsible for analyzing the application and coming up with cost and power optimized digital for the touch and other sensing ASICs. These designs may include one or multiple processors and/or DSP cores and microarchitecture of custom control engines., You will be architecting Touch sensing systems and the ASICs required to realize them. You will be expected to take high level user requirements and create a realizable system that meets these goals. This will include high level modeling of proposed solutions, along with creating detailed specifications of the requirements. This is a highly cross-functional role, and you will work with others to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product.
