Job description
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job, and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Dynamic, sensible people and inspiring, innovative technologies are the norm here. Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product. Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Are you ready to join a team redefining hardware technology? We are searching for a dedicated engineer with 10+/- years’ experience to join our exciting team of innovators. In this role, you will be a key member of the system engineering team working on modem systems features and requirements.
Description
As a Cellular System Engineer, you will be responsible for the pre- and post-silicon bring up, and validation of end-to-end cellular systems. You will understand and map systems algorithms and requirements to HW/FW architecture, simulation and emulation-based validation of the control flows and PHY/L1 algorithms.","responsibilities":"This position requires strong collaboration with SoC, PHY, PHY HW, PHY FW, and L1 SW teams to ensure the end-to-end system requirements are met.
You will also have a critical hands-on role in pre- and post-silicon verification, validation, and bring-up of silicon, to support productization.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in low power algorithm design for power critical applications is helpful.
Experience in E2E timeline analysis for time-critical algorithms is helpful.
Experience in chip bring-up including the use of lab equipment such as protocol test equipment, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters, etc..
In-depth knowledge of wireless communication systems with hands-on experience in lab testing & characterization.
Strong analytical skills (linear algebra, random processes, detection and estimation, etc.)
Minimum Qualifications
BS and 10+ years of relevant experience is required.
Knowledge of cellular communication standards: 6G, 5G NR, 4G LTE, PHY Uplink channels and signals.
Deep-knowledge of communication system theory and signal processing will be important for this role to design algorithms such as LDPC, Polar, Turbo encoder design, signal estimation and detection, automatic gain control, RF impairments estimation and correction, channel estimation, OFDM, MIMO detection, signal waveform generation and upsampling, etc.
Experience with Matlab, C/C++ and/or Python for algorithm development, modeling (floating-point and fixed-point) and link-level simulation.
Pay & 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 $175,000 and $308,500, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
