  • Proficiency in scripting and automation for test development and result analysis
  • Experience with AI/ML tools for test data analysis or tool development
  • Familiarity with lab test equipment such as network emulators and protocol analyzers
  • Experience with 6G research concepts or pre-standard wireless technologies
  • Hands-on experience with carrier interoperability testing and field trial environments
  • Knowledge of 5G core network architecture and network slicing
  • Experience with iOS or embedded platform debugging and log analysis tools
  • Background in RF performance testing including beam management and MIMO
  • Familiarity with test management and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills

Responsibilities

  • Validate next-generation wireless connectivity on Apple products through interoperability testing
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams spanning silicon, software, and RF engineering
  • Design and execute system-level test strategies that cover physical layer performance to end-to-end protocol behavior
  • Leverage AI/ML-driven tooling and scalable automation frameworks to uncover issues early
  • Drive quality to the highest standards in pursuit of delivering the best wireless experience
