Job description

Join Apple's wireless silicon development team, focusing on the design and delivery of state-of-the-art CMOS radios. The team is responsible for various aspects of wireless silicon development, emphasizing energy-efficient design and innovative technologies. As an RFIC system engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing advanced wireless technologies for high-volume production. This position offers the opportunity to impact the design of radios that will be integrated into millions of products.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • RF/analog and mixed signal design experience in RF CMOS design.
  • Experience with MATLAB, Python, SystemVue or other system level modeling.
  • Experience modeling RF/Analog circuits using MATLAB/Verilog-A/Python and writing block-level specifications based on this modeling.
  • Direct tape-out experience with RF front-end circuits, PA, LNA, mixer, oscillator, PLL, LO, VGA, filter, ADC/DAC, TIA or other baseband analog blocks in deep sub-micron CMOS technology.
  • Deep understanding of various RF transceiver architectures and their trade-offs.
  • Deep understanding of analog design concepts such as analysis of noise, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
  • Deep understanding of CMOS device physics, RF device modeling, device noise parameters, inductor modeling, and circuit layout for optimum RF performance.
  • Familiarity with Bluetooth, WiFi and Ultra-Wideband standards.
  • Experience in Si characterization and debug.

Responsibilities

  • Research and design next-generation wireless technologies.
  • Bring wireless technologies into high-volume production in advanced CMOS technology nodes.
  • Architect and design RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks for CMOS radios.
  • Collaborate with a vertically integrated engineering team across various disciplines.
  • Deliver state-of-the-art CMOS radios from RF-to-bits.

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.
