Mixed-Signal Clocking and Control RTL Design Engineer

Job Description

Design logic used to calibrate and control circuits such as oscillators, delay lines, and phase interpolators in a technically demanding Mixed-Signal Clocking and Control RTL Design position at Apple.

Requirements

• MS degree in technical discipline with minimum of 10 years of relevant experience
• Excellent knowledge of digital logic gates, clocking, and state elements
• Solid understanding of logic and behavioral simulations, and working knowledge of STA/Lint/CDC/RDC tools
• Good understanding of clocking fundamentals such as jitter, phase, and frequency modulation
• Prior experience working on clocking circuits such as PLLs/DLLs/CDRs
• Familiarity with DACs, oversampling modulators, SERDES clocking and Equalization, line coding schemes, multi-level signaling, digital signal processing, and closed loop control

Responsibilities

• Design logic for calibrating and controlling circuits
• Analyze control loops for critical parameters
• Work closely with static timing experts and design verification teams
• Contribute to post-silicon debug and analysis of designs
