- Hands-on debug experience with modern lab equipment such as DSOs, Logic Analyzers, and Protocol Analyzers.
- MSEE preferred with 2+ years of relevant experience.
- Experience in writing basic software routines and test scripts.
- Experience with mobile and/or embedded processors and memory systems.
- Experience with circuit schematic capture and layout.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end hardware design lifecycle of wireless subsystems.
- Define architecture and create schematic designs.
- Conduct bring-up, characterization, and production validation.
- Collaborate closely with internal silicon, software, and platform teams.
- Integrate wireless SoCs into Apple products.
- Work in the lab and write bare-metal firmware for hardware validation.
