Overview
Wireless RF PHY FW Engineer Sunnyvale, California, United States Hardware Summary Role Number: 200607329-3956 Would you like to join Apple’s growing Wireless Connectivity Silicon team? Our wireless System on a Chip (SoC) organization is responsible for all aspects of wireless silicon development with emphasis on energy-efficient design and new technologies that transform the user experience. This role sits within a vertically integrated engineering team spanning RF/Analog architecture and design, Systems/PHY/MAC architecture and design, VLSI/RTL design and integration, Emulation, Design Verification, Test and Validation, and FW/SW engineering. The position focuses on embedded firmware for SoC bring up and wireless connectivity enablement, working with product software and manufacturing teams to enable RF and PHY calibrations, algorithms and testing for silicon/product readiness. Responsibilities
Craft and implement embedded firmware for SoC bring up and wireless connectivity enablement. Collaborate with product software and manufacturing teams to enable RF and PHY calibrations, algorithms, and testing for productization of the silicon/system. Work with RF/Radio design, DVT, PHY and System engineering teams to architect, define, and implement innovative algorithms, calibrations, and protocols. Debug realtime systems with limited visibility, using development boards and lab equipment. Support pre-silicon validation efforts, including simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping. Support post-silicon bring up, validation, performance characterization, system integration and debug. Minimum Qualifications
BS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience. Preferred Qualifications
Strong background in embedded FW development using C and assembly languages, familiarity with ARM CPUs and its internals. Good understanding of embedded wireless communication systems, Radio and PHY fundamentals and key RF performance metrics. Familiarity with digital signal processing algorithms. Experience with low-level hardware interfaces, register and interrupt programming, bare-metal software development, clock and power management. Solid understanding of basic embedded concepts such as RTOS, concurrency, multi-processor systems. Fluency in using lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters. Experience implementing diagnostics, manufacturing tests, and protocol compliance software. Knowledge of industry standards for wireless communications such as Bluetooth, WLAN, Zigbee, UWB is a plus. Proficient in at least one scripting language such as Python, Perl, or Tcl. Excellent communication skills – both written and oral. Pay & Benefits
At Apple, base pay is one part of the total compensation package and is determined within a range. The base pay range for this role is between $147,400 and $272,100, and base pay will depend on skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
