Apple, Inc.
Wireless PHY Systems & Simulation Engineer
Apple, Inc., San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Summary
Posted: May 29, 2024
Role Number:
200458505
As a Wireless PHY Systems & Simulation Engineer, you will be a core member of our highly innovative and visible Wireless System-on-Chip (SoC) design team. You will help define modem architectures, develop physical-layer algorithms, and invent embedded DSP algorithms for chips enabling exciting new wireless applications! One emphasis of your specific role will be end-to-end simulation of sophisticated systems, modeling components from a multitude of signal processing fields, including but not limited to propagation channel modeling, RF/antenna abstractions, PHY & MAC protocols and algorithms, and sensor fusion schemes to fuse wireless and non-wireless metrics. Application areas include ultra-wideband sensing and specialized wireless audio; products enabled or enhanced by our team's SoCs include specialized audio headsets (such as AirPods) and iPhones!
Description
You will work closely with other PHY systems and algorithm engineers, analog and digital designers, FW & SW Engineers in the areas above. You will invent/derive, simulate, implement, verify, and test physical layer features to make new chips and enable a variety of novel applications in the portable & wearable consumer electronics space. You will collaborate with multi-functional teams to model, simulate, and visualize the performance of complex systems from user movement, wireless propagation models, and RF/antenna behavior, via PHY/MAC protocols and associated signal processing mechanisms, all the way to simulating inertial sensor fusion processing.
Key Qualifications
Expertise in Digital Signal Processing, Wireless Communications, and wireless chip development.Proven grasp of complex wireless systems with strong capability to comprehend dependencies between system components and protocol layers and their interactions.Extensive hands-on SW programming skills for modeling and simulation of sophisticated systems from RF/PHY layer signals and channel modeling to MAC protocol/networking simulations; proficiency with Matlab/C/C++ required.Experience with fixed-point design and RTL vector generation is a plus.Experience with handling and processing large amounts of field and simulation data, including user-friendly visualization of complex test setups and simulation results.Some familiarity with common analog/RF impairments encountered in wireless systems.Experience with and/or knowledge of industry standards such as Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband, GPS, and/or other wireless protocols.Experience in lab FPGA/silicon bring-up, PHY/RF/MAC testing and debugging, and usage of lab equipment is preferred.
Education & Experience
BS +3 years of relevant experience. Focus on Digital Communications & Signal Processing, or equivalent is preferred.
Additional Requirements
Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We also take affirmative action to offer employment and advancement opportunities to all applicants, including minorities, women, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities.We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation.
Pay & Benefits
At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. 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.
Apple employees also have the opportunity to become an Apple shareholder through participation in Apple's discretionary employee stock programs. Apple employees are eligible for discretionary restricted stock unit awards, and can purchase Apple stock at a discount if voluntarily participating in Apple's Employee Stock Purchase Plan. You'll also receive benefits including: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage, retirement benefits, a range of discounted products and free services, and reimbursement for certain educational expenses - including tuition. Additionally, this role might be eligible for discretionary bonuses or commission payments as well as relocation. Learn more about Apple Benefits.
