Can you influence, connect, get results and communicate effectively? As part of our Silicon Engineering group, you will take imaginative and revolutionary ideas and figure out how to turn them into reality! You and your team will apply engineering fundamentals and start from scratch if needed, bringing forward-thinking ideas to the real world. You will work at an exciting silicon design group that is responsible for crafting state-of-the-art ASICs! We have an extraordinary opportunity for Foundry Interface Engineers.

Imagine yourself in our processor design effort, collaborating with design teams and providing technology support, with a critical impact on getting functional products to millions of customers quickly. In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of process technology problem solving, providing design enablement for display and mixed signal products. The primary focus of this position is collaborating with internal design teams and semiconductor foundries. This is a hands-on, dynamic role requiring limited travel to foundries and development sites.
• Work closely with display product and chip design teams to enable chip development, tape out, debug and release.
• Work closely with foundries on silicon process and product issues.
• Manage & evaluate foundry deliverables (PDK documentation, LVS, DRM/DRC, Spice models and tech files) and drive improvements with foundry.
• Participate in technology development, device engineering for next generation process technologies.
• Assess device usage cases to ensure product reliability (safe-operating-area evaluation).
• Manage and mitigate technology risks for multiple projects in parallel.
• Build crucial internal and external connections at suppliers and within Apple.

+ We are looking for applicants with at least 10+ years of experience in semiconductor process technology and manufacturing. Direct experience in PMIC or analog technology development programs is desired.

+ Deep knowledge of mixed signal technologies, with emphasis on supporting analog design.

+ Prior experience in DDIC, OLED, uLED backplane display products would be ideal

+ Experience working with PDKs and collateral, such as Spice models, DRM/DRC, LVS, RC tech files, is critical.

+ Successful collaboration with design (analog & digital) in a positive manner is a key requirement.

+ Familiarity with reliability mechanisms and device safe operating areas is a plus.

+ Good data analysis, problem solving, and very strong interpersonal skills required.
