Job description
Join Apple's Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) design team to work on next-generation modem architectures and develop advanced physical-layer algorithms for products such as AirPods, iPhone, and Apple Watch. This role involves system modeling, design, and simulation, requiring collaboration with RF, antenna, firmware, and software engineers. The focus is on transforming wireless innovations from concept to reality while enhancing the end user experience. You will engage in both pre- and post-silicon bring-up in the lab.
Requirements
- BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
- Mastery of complex wireless systems with a deep understanding of component dependencies and protocol layer interactions.
- Expertise in DSP, wireless communications, and wireless chip development.
- Strong software programming skills for RF/PHY modeling and MAC protocol simulation.
- Proficiency in Matlab, C, and C++.
- MSEE or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a focus on Digital Communications and Signal Processing.
- Participation in wireless standards organizations or industry consortia.
- Experience with large-scale field and simulation dataset processing.
- Publications or patents in wireless communications or signal processing.
- Experience in fixed-point design and RTL vector generation.
- Knowledge of analog/RF impairments in wireless systems.
- Experience with industry standards such as Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband, and GPS.
- Hands-on lab experience with FPGA/silicon bring-up and PHY/RF/MAC testing.
Responsibilities
- Design and simulate wireless systems.
- Collaborate with Radio/RTL/FW teams and cross-functional teams.
- Engage in pre- and post-silicon bring-up in the lab.
- Deliver products that enhance the end user experience.
