ESD Engineer
Description For ESD Engineer
At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people's lives. As an ESD Engineer, you will take ownership of the ESD and Latch-Up requirements of all ICs developed by and for Apple. This is a highly visible role where you'll ensure silicon is designed to meet Apple's ESD specifications and manufacturing requirements.
You'll work closely with diverse teams within Apple as well as external vendors, taking on challenges that no one has solved yet. The role involves defining ESD methodology, designing protection devices, developing test structures, and managing sign-off reviews. You'll be part of Apple's hardware team, contributing to products that strive for the highest expectations of quality, innovation and efficiency.
The position requires a strong background in transistor device characteristics, ESD circuit design techniques, and hands-on experience with design/layout EDA tools. You'll need expertise in ESD testing models (HBM, CDM, MM, IEC-61000-4-2) and familiarity with Si processes for high voltage, RF, or advanced ASICs.
This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing team where you can lead your career while working on cutting-edge technology. The role offers comprehensive benefits including medical coverage, retirement benefits, stock options, and education reimbursement. Base pay ranges from $143,100 to $264,200, depending on your skills, qualifications, and experience.
If you're passionate about innovative hardware solutions, have strong technical expertise in ESD design, and want to be part of creating products that impact millions of users worldwide, this role at Apple could be your next career move.
