Job description

As an RFIC Design Engineer within the Wireless Radio team at Apple, you will be integral to the design of wireless SoCs that enhance connectivity solutions for millions of products. The team focuses on architecting, designing, and validating radio transceivers, pushing the boundaries of wireless technology. You will collaborate with various product development groups to innovate and improve the user experience. This role requires a strong foundation in analog and RF circuit design, as well as experience in bringing wireless transceivers into mass production.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Understanding of analog design concepts such as noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
  • Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, Matlab, EM simulation tools like EMX and HFSS.
  • Expertise in analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design, including LNAs, PAs, PLL/VCO/DCO/LOGEN blocks, mixers, and data converters.
  • Experience in silicon characterization and debugging.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a PhD with relevant industry experience is preferred.
  • Deep experience in crafting and bringing wireless transceivers into mass production is a plus.
  • Familiarity with various RF transceiver architectures and their trade-offs.

Responsibilities

  • Architect, design, and validate radio transceivers integrated into wireless SoCs.
  • Collaborate with product development groups to innovate new technologies.
  • Translate system requirements into circuit requirements at the IC level.
  • Work with digital design groups to optimize the partition between digital and analog domains.
  • Conduct silicon characterization and debugging to ensure high-performance wireless systems.

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.
