Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of relevant industry experience in Layer 1 control design.
  • Strong knowledge of cellular communication standards: 6G, 5G NR, and 4G LTE.
  • Deep expertise in communication system theory and signal processing.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, C/C++, and/or Python for algorithm development.
  • Experience leveraging Generative AI and LLM-based tools.
  • Experience in low-power algorithm design for mobile platforms.
  • Strong mathematical foundations in linear algebra and detection theory.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end lifecycle of cellular modem systems.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with SoC, PHY, and software teams.
  • Deliver leading-edge performance and power optimizations.
  • Conduct hands-on silicon bring-up using lab equipment.
  • Perform end-to-end timeline analysis for latency-critical PHY processing chains.

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.
