SUMMARY

Posted: Feb 21, 2024
Role Number:200510825
We live in a mobile and device driven world where knowledge of the physical world around us is needed. We rely on this knowledge to get around, to learn about our environment and to enable spectacular new features for custom applications. Apple is meeting those needs as robustly and as creatively as possible and is interested in people who want to help meet that commitment. The success we are striving for will be the result of very skilled people working in an environment which cultivates creativity, partnership, and thinking of old problems in new ways. If that sounds like the kind of environment that you find intriguing, then let’s talk. These elements come together to make Apple an amazing environment for motivated people to do the greatest work of their lives. You will become a member of a team that sets the standard in cultivating excellence, creativity and innovation. Will you help us design the next generation of revolutionary Apple products? Be a part of a premier design team responsible for the architecture, design, implementation, verification and integration of the wireless baseband systems for all Apple products. The applicant should be familiar with computer system architecture, digital design, signal integrity and power integrity (SIPI), and design verification tests. The candidate will work proactively with other cross-functional engineering groups.

DESCRIPTION

This is a Hardware System Electrical Engineer (a.k.a Baseband HW Design) position in the Hardware Technology group of Apple and it is one of the most diverse roles out there! This team is responsible for the digital, analog, power and clocks of all wireless chipsets in Apple products, from concept to product announcement. During the architectural stage you will work with world-class architects and IC designers on next generation wireless chipset architecture, including Power, Digital, Analog, and Clock Management. During development, you will drive schematics, layout, and chipset bring-up of both development and form factor HW. You will run SIPI simulation and validation to verify your own designs. You will work with multi-functional teams on HW/SW/Coexistence issues that are often seen only with the scale and volume of an Apple product. You will also have the full weight of the world’s leading contract manufacturers behind you in factory prototype support. This role also requires heavy cross-functional collaboration with other Apple teams (application processor, system integration, RF, battery, sensors, iOS, etc.) and therefore you will also maintain a firm grasp of the entire product landscape outside of wireless design. To name a few of our core deliverables: - Signal integrity and power integrity (SIPI) simulation and validation - Power management system designs and validation - Clock management design and validations - Wireless system integration, schematic, PCB layout, BOM, and constraints, for both development platforms and for consumer products - High-speed and low-speed digital interfaces designs and validations - Failure analysis for wireless systems on our prototypes Everything is going wireless. Join the evolution!

KEY QUALIFICATIONS

  • BSEE required, MSEE is preferred
  • Experience with mobile platform system design, system integration and/or high-volume consumer electronics design
  • Strong electrical engineering fundamentals
