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 for innovative wireless communication systems. You will develop system models 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.

The role requires collaboration with HW digital designers and architects, products, Radio, analog designers, and SW engineers, to define and specify the wireless systems. You will work with digital designers to realize different physical and / or radio compensation algorithms, and with firmware designers to implement high efficiency software for physical / radio compensation algorithms. Additionally, you will bring up, test, characterize and optimize real silicon in the lab to production quality.

Description

In this role, core responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following :

  • Design radio models for the wireless communication system, RF / circuits impairments.
  • Design method / algorithm to alleviate those impairments by calibration, pre-equalization, canceller, and / or pre-distortion techniques.
  • Evaluate radio performance in different scenarios by quantitative analysis and link simulation.
  • Work with radio designers to develop state-of-the-art radio architecture.
  • Collaborate with digital designers to realize PHY / radio algorithms with power and area efficient digital implementations.
  • Work with firmware designers to implement PHY / radio algorithms with high efficiency software implementation, and possibly with hardware acceleration.
  • Responsible for bringing up, testing, characterizing and optimizing real silicon in the lab.

Minimum Qualifications

  • BSEE with 3 years of relevant experience required.
  • Understanding of RF and analog components / modules composed of wireless communication systems, the possible impairments from those components, and the corresponding calibration and impairment reduction methods / algorithms is essential.
  • Proven track record of RF calibration algorithms for RF impairments.
  • Experience with MATLAB, Python and / or C / C for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
  • Hands-on experience in lab testing & characterization, such as spectrum analyzer, signal generator, signal analyzer, power meter, etc.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • MSEE / PhD with relevant experience.
  • Understanding of communication theory, information theory, & signal processing related algorithms design.
  • Analytical capability to develop the best-in-class solution in terms of performance, power and area for the meaningful issues of physical layer design.
  • Knowledge in existing wireless communication protocols : Cellular technologies (5G-NR / LTE / WCDMA / GSM), WiFi (802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax / be and ad / ay) or Bluetooth / BLE.
  • 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 $135,400 and $250,600, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
