The iPhone Hardware Engineering team is seeking a hardworking and passionate Power Integrity Engineer. The ideal candidate will work with multi-functional teams to design, model, simulate and verify power distribution networks (PDN) for iPhones, iPads and AirPods.

Description

Ability to design and analyze power delivery networks including modeling of dc-dc converters, and their potential for EMI. Work with crossfunctional stakeholders on Power Architecture, IP specs and performance, passives. Perform design feasibility study, design testing and verification, and system bring up. Provide design guideline and support to system architecture design, board layout, product bring up, debug, validation, and factory builds. Develop and improve design methodologies to achieve minimal EMI. Ability to design, analyze and validate power delivery solutions, including modeling of DC-DC converters, passives, power distribution networks and their potential for EMI.

• 3+ years of experience, BS/MS in relevant field
• Must have strong EE fundamentals and problems solving skills
• Must have experience in power integrity analysis (modeling, verification and correlation), and layout planning and routing strategies
• Hands-on experience in EM and circuit simulation tools: Ansys HFSS/Maxwell/SIWave, CST, ADS/Spice/Spectre, Cadence/Sigrity, scripting languages (Python, Perl)

• 7+years of experience, PhD in relevant field
• Experience in cross-functional collaboration
• Experience in layout planning and routing strategies of complex power distribution networks (PDN) design for sophisticated power conversion systems
• Hands-on experience in hardware board-level testing, validation, and with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, signal generators, near field scanning, spectrum analyzers and VNAs)
• Understanding of power delivery system in battery powered devices and its impact on system level performance
• Knowledge in DC-DC regulator topologies, design principles, modeling and simulations
• Knowledge in Electromagnetic theory, especially in relation to switching regulators, HF ICs, and magnetics
