Job Summary

The Wireless SoC Radio Team at Apple designs state-of-the-art, highly energy-efficient CMOS radios, from RF to bits. To deliver these radios, our team is responsible for the design and validation of a wide range of RF, analog, and mixed-signal blocks from RF front-end amplifiers to data converters, including baseband filters, baseband and RF phase-locked loops, crystal oscillators, and bandgap references. We are working on new technologies that transform the user experience at the product level, all of which 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.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and integrate RF end-to-end DUT control sequences and verify them with emulation systems.
  • Be responsible for wireless-SOC RF functionality bringup.
  • Design and develop RF block and/or system calibrations, including algorithms and optimizations.
  • Perform RF performance optimization and characterization, such as Psat, Mask, IP3, NF, ACPR, phase noise, lock time, return loss, etc.
  • Design RF test benches and implement scripts that control wireless-SOC and communicate with test equipment.
  • Write scripts that plot, parse, and analyze large data sets.
  • Generate RF performance summary reports based on characterization results against chip specifications.
  • Develop RF calibrations and tests for ATE mass productions and analyze ATE failures.
  • Develop RF FW based on Python reference scripts.

Requirements

  • Solid experience of RF parametric testing, such as IP3, NF, ACPR, phase noise, loadpull, etc.
  • Strong working knowledge of RF test equipment, such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, vector signal analyzers, vector signal generators, etc.
  • Strong Wireless RF background and familiarity with RF systems fundamentals, RF transceiver architectures, and/or digital communication.
  • Proficiency with understanding RFIC block-level design schematics.
  • Some experience of RF PCB board design, debug, and development.
  • Python programming language is highly desired.
  • Experience with embedded systems and C programming language is preferred.

Education & Experience

  • BS and 10+ years of relevant experience. MS preferred.

Compensation & Benefits

  • At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $166,600 and $296,300, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
