Wireless SoC RF Integration and Validation Engineer

Come and join Apple's growing wireless silicon development team. Our wireless SoC organization is 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. All of this is driven by a world-class vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering.

In this role, you will deliver an RF integration end-to-end Solution, which includes DUT control development, pre-silicon emulation/simulation, and integrated RF calibration. You will become a central hub enabling different phases from design development toward Apple product's mass production. You will also be responsible for Wireless SoC-RF Bring up at the first touch, final Silicon validation results, and compliance. You will have the opportunity to keep developing your technical depth in both HW and SW domains, such as understanding wireless transceiver architecture, RF system and DSP knowledge, Software framework, RF driver and embedded system, and experience of delivery Apple products until productization.

Your responsibilities include: • Develop and integrate RF end-to-end DUT control sequence and verify it with emulation system. • Responsible for wireless-SOC RF functionality bring up. • Design and develop RF block and/or system calibrations including algorithms and optimizations. • RF performance optimization and characterization. • Design RF test bench and implement scripts which control wireless-SOC and communicate test equipment. • Writing scripts that plot, parse and analyze large data sets. • Generate RF performance summary reports based on characterization results against chip specification. • Develop RF Calibrations and tests for Wafer ATE and Module ATE mass productions and analyze ATE failures. • Develop RF FW based on python reference script.

Minimum Qualifications: • BS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications: • Solid experience in RF parametric testing. • Strong working knowledge of RF test equipment. • Strong Wireless RF background and familiarity with RF systems fundamentals. • Proficiency with understanding RFIC block-level design schematics. • Experience with RF PCB board design, debug, and development. • Python programming language is highly desired. • Experience with embedded systems and C programming language is preferred. • Automation framework development.

Apple offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, employee stock programs, and educational reimbursement opportunities. The role may also be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation assistance.
