Job description

The role is part of Apple's GNSS team within the Cellular division, focusing on the design of highly energy-efficient and robust GNSS receivers. The team collaborates across various product development groups to enhance GNSS capabilities and improve user experiences. The position involves defining hardware architectures for GNSS signal processing and developing specifications and models using MATLAB, C++, and SystemC. Candidates will work on balancing power efficiency with performance and robustness in GNSS systems.

Requirements

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10+ years of relevant industry experience is required.
  • Strong background in wireless communications with a focus on digital hardware system design.
  • Familiarity with digital communication, signal processing, spread spectrum systems, or systems theory.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, especially in a multi-functional environment.
  • MSEE or beyond is preferred.
  • 5+ years of proven experience in GNSS baseband signal processing is preferred.
  • Proficiency with wireless communications system modeling and estimation theory.
  • Solid programming skills in MATLAB, C++, and SystemC.
  • Good understanding of VLSI implementation, architecture, and power optimization.
  • A healthy combination of innovation attitude and understanding of practical constraints of product development.

Responsibilities

  • Define GNSS signal processing hardware architectures.
  • Develop system specifications and modeling in MATLAB, C++, and SystemC for RTL implementations.
  • Enable outstanding GNSS performance while balancing ultra-low power efficiency with performance and robustness.
  • Collaborate with other product development groups to push the boundaries of GNSS capabilities.

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. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
