Physical Design Engineer

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined, and now, can't imagine living without. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do.

Description

APPLE INC has the following available in Austin, Texas. Work closely with the Physical Design Team to design power grid specification that achieves the best balance between power integrity targets and place and route performance, power and Area (PPA). Drive definition of on-die power switch topology, wake-up schemes, and in-rush control. Collaborate with internal teams to drive bump map, custom RDL routing, and package design and optimization.
