This position involves collaborating with various product development groups to innovate and enhance wireless connectivity solutions. You will work on sophisticated projects that push the boundaries of wireless technology, impacting millions of products worldwide. Your expertise will help transform improved hardware elements into coordinated designs that elevate user experiences.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Understanding of analog design concepts such as noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
  • Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, Matlab, EM simulation tools like EMX and HFSS.
  • Expertise in analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design, including LNAs, PAs, PLL/VCO/DCO/LOGEN blocks, mixers, and data converters.
  • Experience in silicon characterization and debugging.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a PhD with relevant industry experience is preferred.
  • Deep experience in bringing wireless transceivers into mass production is a plus.
  • Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and their trade-offs.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and validate radio transceivers integrated into wireless SoCs.
  • Collaborate with product development groups to innovate new wireless technologies.
  • Transform improved hardware elements into a single, coordinated design.
  • Work with system architects to translate system requirements into circuit requirements at the IC level.
  • Ensure optimum partitioning between digital and analog domains by collaborating with digital design groups.
  • Utilize mixed-signal mode verification methodology for design validation.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage.
