Job description

As a Digital ASIC Architect on the Motion Sensing Hardware team, you will own the digital architecture of motion sensing ASICs from concept through silicon, with the goal of delivering best-in-class sensing experiences across Apple's product line. You will analyze the application, then define cost and power optimized digital systems built around one or more processors, DSP cores, and custom control engines. You will translate high-level user and product requirements into a realizable system, build the high-level models that prove out the architecture, and author the detailed specifications that drive the rest of the IC development. This is a highly cross-functional role. You will work with circuit design, firmware, algorithms, software, and product teams to identify the critical interactions between the ASIC and the broader product, and you will produce the architectures and specifications that become the silicon Apple ships and the features customers feel. BS in Electrical Engineering or related field with a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience Excellent written and verbal communication skills Deep expertise in digital ASIC architecture for sensor or mixed-signal systems, including processor and DSP sub-system definition, memory and bus architecture, and custom control engine micro-architecture Proven track record of defining and taping out high-volume, complex digital and mixed-signal ICs from architecture through production Strong foundation in system-level design, requirements development, and hardware/firmware partitioning for sensing or low-power embedded applications Experience developing sensing algorithms and signal processing pipelines, with the modeling skills to evaluate them before silicon Experience with IC bring-up, silicon characterization, and system-level debug Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or SystemC for high-level modeling and simulation
