## About the Role

Proven track record of defining and taping out high-volume, complex mixed-signal ICs from architecture through production

Strong foundation in system-level design, IC micro-architecture definition, and requirements development for mixed-signal ASICs

Experience with IC bring-up, silicon characterization, and debug at the system level

Proficiency in MATLAB, Phython, or equivalent high-level modeling and simulation tools

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering

Minimum Qualifications

Experience in analog and mixed-signal ASIC architecture, such as AFE design, ADC/DAC topologies, noise analysis, and signal chain optimization.

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

## Description

As an Analog ASIC Architect on the Touch Technology team, you will own the architecture of complex mixed-signal ASICs from concept through silicon, with the goal of enabling best-in-class touch sensing experiences across Apple's product line. You will translate high-level system requirements into rigorous, realizable designs - defining the analog front-end architecture, signal processing pipeline, and system-level performance targets that guide the full IC development process. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring both deep technical expertise and the ability to communicate and collaborate across circuit design, digital architecture, software, and product teams. You will be expected to drive architectural decisions with clarity and conviction, grounded in first principles and shaped by a thorough understanding of the constraints and trade-offs inherent in high-volume silicon development., Define and develop analog front-end (AFE) and mixed-signal ASIC architectures for high-performance, low-power touch sensing applications

Author detailed micro-architecture specifications, performance analyses, and characterization plans that serve as the technical foundation for IC development

Build high-level behavioral models to evaluate architectural trade-offs and validate system performance against product requirements

Lead cross-disciplinary trade-off assessments spanning power, performance, area, and manufacturability across process corners

Contribute technical expertise to strategic roadmap planning and technology investment decisions

Partner with circuit design, digital architecture, software, and product teams to ensure seamless system integration

Perform root cause analysis and drive resolution of silicon performance issues from bench characterization through mass production

Minimal business travel as needed to support product development
