Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer

Apple's wireless silicon development team is seeking a Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer to join their growing organization. This role is part of a world-class vertically integrated engineering team responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development, with a focus on highly energy-efficient design and innovative technologies that enhance user experience at the product level.

As a Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering end-to-end RF integration solutions, including DUT control development, pre-silicon emulation/simulation, and integrated RF calibration. You'll serve as a central hub connecting different phases from design development to mass production of Apple products. Key responsibilities include wireless SoC-RF bring-up, silicon validation, and compliance testing.

The role offers opportunities to develop technical expertise in both hardware and software domains, including wireless transceiver architecture, RF systems, DSP knowledge, software frameworks, RF drivers, and embedded systems. You'll work with cutting-edge technology and contribute to Apple's product development lifecycle from initial conception to final productization.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include developing RF control sequences, performing system calibrations, optimizing RF performance, and implementing test automation. You'll work with various RF test equipment, analyze large datasets, and generate comprehensive performance reports. The role requires strong technical skills in RF engineering, programming (particularly Python and C), and embedded systems.

The position offers competitive compensation, including a base salary range of $120,300 to $181,200, plus additional benefits such as stock options, comprehensive healthcare, and education reimbursement. You'll be part of Apple's innovative hardware team, contributing to the development of next-generation wireless technologies while working in either San Francisco Bay Area or San Diego.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong RF engineering background who wants to work at the intersection of hardware and software, contributing to products that millions of people use daily. The role combines technical depth with broad system-level understanding, making it ideal for engineers who enjoy both detailed technical work and seeing their contributions in finished products.
