At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people's lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Do you like changing the game? We have an opportunity for a forward-thinking and unusually hardworking Wireless System Engineer. As a member of our multi-faceted Wireless Connectivity team, you will have the rare and extraordinary opportunity to craft upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple's customers every single day.

Description

In this role, you will play a key part in the integration, bring-up, and tuning of physical layer/RF systems for next-generation wireless SoCs - from pre-silicon stage to product launch in Apple devices. You get to collaborate across disciplines-including PHY algorithms, RF design, digital, MAC, and firmware teams - to ensure seamless integration and best-in-class wireless performance.","responsibilities":"Drive Bring-up, integration, and performance optimization of Wi-Fi PHY and Radio Systems for both pre-silicon and post-silicon stages.

Develop and integrate PHY features and calibration algorithms such as TPC, AGC, TSSI, RSSI, and interference mitigation.

Debug and root-cause system performance issues across RF domains (impairments, calibration, gain control) and digital PHY processing (OFDM, synchronization, channel estimation, MIMO).

Collaborate closely with PHY system Algorithm Engineers as well as Radio, RFIC, MAC and digital circuit designers to ensure end-to-end feature integration.

Supporting the transition from lab bring-up to robust firmware integration and product readiness.

Characterize RF/PHY performance, and drive resolutions to ensure robust, high-quality product delivery.

Preferred Qualifications

Preferred BSEE/MSEE and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience

Experience, knowledge and skills on wireless system design, integration, bring up and debug of wireless PHY and RF systems on SoC platforms.
