Job description

Apple's Wireless SoC team is looking for a Wireless PHY Systems Engineer to advance wireless technology in Apple products. The role involves end-to-end simulation and algorithm development for complex wireless systems, including Bluetooth and UWB protocols. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to develop physical-layer features for next-generation SoC designs. This position is ideal for those who excel at the intersection of theory and practical application in wireless systems.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Strong systems-level mastery of complex wireless architectures.
  • Extensive hands-on software programming skills for system modeling and simulation.
  • Experience with fixed-point design and RTL vector generation.
  • Familiarity with analog/RF impairments common in wireless systems.
  • Experience with wireless standards such as Bluetooth and UWB.
  • MSEE/Ph.D. in electrical engineering or equivalent with 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Demonstrated experience applying AI/ML methods to wireless systems.
  • Proficiency with Python and data science/ML libraries.
  • Experience with High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools.
  • Prior engagement with wireless standards organizations.
  • Experience with simulation automation and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Track record of technical publications or contributions to the wireless research community.
  • Exceptional communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Drive end-to-end simulation and algorithm development for complex wireless systems.
  • Lead the research, modeling, and simulation of sophisticated wireless systems.
  • Collaborate with PHY/algorithm engineers, analog and digital designers, and firmware/software teams.
  • Apply AI/ML-driven approaches alongside classical signal processing methods.
  • Influence chip architecture decisions and wireless capabilities of future Apple products.

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.
