Wireless System Engineer - Radio
Job Description
SummaryPosted: Jan 17, 2024
Role Number:200534442
Would you like to join Apple's growing wireless silicon development team? Our wireless SOC organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development, taking care of challenges from the complex usages, more demanding performances, and reliabilities to enable emerging wireless applications and products. Our goal is to come up with innovative architectures and protocols, integrated systems and algorithms with employing the advanced technologies to introduce our innovative products, providing evolutions to our lives. In this technical role, you will be at the center of a silicon design group, with a critical impact on radio architecture, radio system performance, system integration and physical layer algorithms designs. You will develop system model of RF/analog design, radio chain modeling, integrated radio interaction models, dynamic behavior models and assess associate impairments. You will evaluate radio performance on various application scenarios, as well as working on architecting various calibration and correction methods for radio impairments. This role requires collaboration with HW digital designers and architects, products, Radio, analog designers, and SW engineers, to define and specify the wireless systems.
