At Apple, we work every single day to craft products that enrich people’s lives. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? As a member of our Wireless Silicon Design group, you will have outstanding and exciting opportunity to build our future products that will delight and encourage millions of Apple’s customers every single day!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 goals are to come up with innovative architectures and protocols, integrate 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 for innovative wireless communication systems. 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 scenario, 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 get to work with digital designers to realize different physical and / or radio compensation algorithms, and with firmware designers to realize different physical / radio compensation algorithms with high efficiency software implementation. And to bring up, test, characterize and optimize real silicon in lab to the production qualities.

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 techniquesEvaluate radio performance in different scenarios by quantitative analysis and link simulationWork with radio designer to come up with state-of-art radio architectureWork with digital designers to realize PHY / radio algorithms with power and area efficient digital implementations.Work with firmware designers to realize PHY / radio algorithms with high efficiency software implementation, and possibly with hardware acceleration.Responsibility for Bring up, test, characterize and optimize real silicon in lab.
