Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer

Apple is seeking a Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer to join their growing wireless silicon development team. This role is part of the wireless SoC organization 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.

As a Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer, you will:

1. Deliver an RF integration end-to-end solution, including DUT control development, pre-silicon emulation/simulation, and integrated RF calibration.
2. Act as a central hub enabling different phases from design development toward Apple product's mass production.
3. Be responsible for Wireless SoC-RF Bring up at the first touch, final Silicon validation results, and compliance.
4. Develop and integrate RF end-to-end DUT control sequences and verify them with emulation systems.
5. Design and develop RF block and/or system calibrations, including algorithms and optimizations.
6. Perform RF performance optimization and characterization.
7. Design RF test benches and implement scripts to control wireless-SOC and communicate with test equipment.
8. Generate RF performance summary reports based on characterization results against chip specifications.
9. Develop RF Calibrations and tests for Wafer ATE and Module ATE mass productions and analyze ATE failures.
10. Develop RF FW based on Python reference scripts.

This role offers the opportunity to develop technical depth in both hardware and software domains, including understanding wireless transceiver architecture, RF systems, DSP knowledge, software frameworks, RF drivers, and embedded systems.

Required Qualifications:

• BS degree

Preferred Qualifications:

• Solid experience in RF parametric testing (IP3, NF, ACPR, phase noise, load pull, etc.)
• Working knowledge of RF test equipment
• Wireless RF background and familiarity with RF systems fundamentals
• Proficiency in understanding RFIC block-level design schematics
• Experience with RF PCB board design, debug, and development
• Python programming skills (highly desired)
• Experience with embedded systems and C programming language
• Automation framework development skills

Apple offers a competitive compensation package, including base pay, potential stock awards, and comprehensive benefits. The company is committed to inclusion, diversity, and equal opportunity employment.
