Come and join Apple’s growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SoC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development, emphasizing highly energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level. All of this is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.
Description
In this role, and as part of our team, you will deliver an RF integration end-to-end Solution, which includes DUT control development, pre-silicon emulation/simulation, integrated RF calibration. You will become a central hub which enables different phases from design development toward Apple product’s mass production. You will also be responsible for Wireless SoC-RF Bring up at the first touch, final Silicon validation results and compliance. You will get the opportunity to keep developing your technical depth in both HW and SW domains, such as understanding of wireless transceiver architecture, RF system and DSP knowledge, Software framework, RF driver and embedded system, and experience of delivery Apple products until productization.
