Posted: Jan 17, 2024
Role Number:200534161
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? As a member of our Wireless Silicon Design group, you will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to build upcoming products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers every single day! In this technical role, you will be at the center of our silicon design and bring-up group, responsible for wireless system design of our innovative wireless SoC products. You will have the chance to create algorithms and architectures of wireless communication systems, as well as collaborate with extraordinary RF/analog, HW, SW designers and architects to implement, verify, validate and bring up SoC products to production quality, providing them to millions of Apple customers!
Key Qualifications
Description
As a Wireless Systems Engineering, you will be responsible for the design of next generation and proprietary ranging and sensing technologies at the PHY layer. This role requires collaborating closely with multiple cross-functional teams, including the radio and analog teams, PHY/MAC systems teams, firmware teams, and product teams to derive the requirements, create and implement the ranging and sensing designs, validate pre-silicon, bring up post-silicon, and optimize performance and reliability. Ultimately, you will need to deliver a solution that achieves the target requirements and satisfy user-level expectations. Core Responsibilities: •Design and simulate next-generation and proprietary ranging and sensing protocols at the PHY layer •Work with cross-functional teams to understand and develop design designs to meet those requirements. •Work with designers to ensure implementations that are both robust, flexible, and area/power efficient. •Work with firmware designers to ensure that implementations are robust, flexible and efficient. •Bring up, test, and characterize the ranging and sensing designs to ensure flexibility, performance is optimized, and that the designs are robustness enough for production.
Education & Experience
BS and 3+ years of relevant experience required. MSEE/PhD preferred.
