Description

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 group, 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 This role is central to driving end-to-end performance and seamless integration of advanced Physical Layer (PHY) wireless communication algorithms within Apple's custom silicon. You will be the crucial link that translates sophisticated algorithmic concepts into highly optimized, real-world system functionality. Your primary focus will be on the complete lifecycle of our wireless algorithms from design, implementation, integration, and deployment to the final product. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience. Bring-up experience and take to production state-of-the-art physical layer wireless communication system algorithms for very high data rate applications. Profound understanding and practical application of wireless communication theory, including advanced topics like OFDM, MIMO/multi-antenna systems, and RF system architecture. Expertise in signal processing algorithms for physical layer implementations, such as timing and frequency synchronization, signal estimation and detection, automatic gain control (AGC), RF impairment mitigation (e.g., IQ imbalance, phase noise), channel estimation and equalization, coexistence, and interference suppression. Knowledge of wireless communication protocols like 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/bc, 802.11ad/ay or LTE. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS MSEE or PHD degrees Experience designing firmware-based algorithms involving MAC-PHY interactions and SW based PHY configurations and implement codes in Python and in firmware. Experience with pre-silicon validation using emulation and FPGA prototyping tools and methodologies. Experience in designing test plans and work with automation/test engineers to implement the same, collect and analyze test result, identify and debug issues. Proficiency in utilizing wireless test lab equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, power meters) for system characterization, debugging, and root cause analysis of complex communication issues. Strong understanding of measurement principles and their practical application.
