About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled RF Systems Architect to join our team at Apple, working on the development of highly energy-efficient and robust GNSS receiver design. As a key member of our wireless SoC team, you will be responsible for assessing, designing, and driving RF system innovations with a focus on groundbreaking performance under real-life conditions and clear differentiation from other competitors.

Key Responsibilities
  • Translate system level and performance requirements into requirements for the RX system, including breakdown to block level and component level.
  • Run static analysis for specific scenarios defined by the architecture team.
  • Select, simulate, and specify RF architectures for the GNSS receivers.
  • Drive the further development of the simulation environment and modeling.
  • Prepare specifications as input for RFIC design team and FW team.
  • Analyze the receiver chain by means of simulations (e.g. MATLAB, ADS) and level plan analysis.
  • Identify and analyze critical requirements, and provide assessments with respect to critical metric impact, timeline, and risks.
  • Solve sophisticated and interdisciplinary problems related to the GNSS receive system.
  • Support RF SiVal in defining and carrying out measurements to validate RF Systems performance.
  • Assist with silicon debug, and propose solutions and workarounds as needed.
Requirements
  • 4+ years of proven experience in RF, including receiver system architecture design.
  • Expertise in RF System concepts and procedures for wireless systems, including calibrations, analyzing receiver chains from antenna to BB I/F, and translating top-level requirements into specification items for transceiver building blocks and RF components.
  • In-depth knowledge of wireless radio standards (Connectivity, Cellular or GNSS), including their implications on system specifications.
  • Prior experience in RF performance criteria and concepts such as EIRP, AGC, noise figure, sensitivity/de-Sense, phase noise, EVM, spectral mask, spurious, harmonics, intermodulation, s-parameters, Smith charts, and tuning networks.
  • Strong analytical and interpersonal skills with an ability to thrive in a multi-functional environment.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
