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 dynamic group, you will have the unique and rewarding opportunity to shape upcoming products that will delight and inspire millions of Apple’s customers every day!\\n\\nOur RF Systems Engineering team is looking for a passionate, self-motivated individual to work on overall system performance of multi-radio coexistence for various wireless technologies (e.g., Cellular, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, UWB, NFC).
You will be responsible for assessing platform-level multi-radio coexistence performance,"including":\\n\\n- Working with cross-functional partners to assess the multi-radio coexistence performance impact to the end user. \\n- Working with wireless software partners to design the software mitigation scheme, assess the trade-offs and implementation path.\\n- Bring-up device-under-test, setups and test procedures for multi-radio coexistence performance studies.\\n- Analyze wireless logs to understand field usage patterns and incorporate these learnings to perform controlled bench performance studies for multi-radio coexistence. \\n- Proposing HW/SW design and process changes for multi-radio coexistence issues considering design constraints and align with cross-functional partners on trade-offs and implementation path.\\n- Execution of validation \u0026 characterization test plans to meet multi-radio coexistence performance targets.\\n- Tracking validation status, analyze results and communicate insight from data.\\n- Collaborating with cross-functional partners for circuit-level, system-level simulations to understand risk areas and root cause issues.
Assess multi-radio coexistence user impact across Apple platforms by conducting performance characterization at the RF/wireless system level.\\nWork with cross-functional partners to define product-level coexistence performance specifications and align on use-cases, test methodology \u0026 key performance metrics.\\nWork with analytics team to gather usage statistics to understand prevalence of coexistence issues in the field. \\nCollaborate cross-functionally with field team to design experiments \u0026 analyze field logs to demonstrate end-user performance impact.\\nDesign bench experiments, collect performance data \u0026 analyze wireless logs across various RF parameters to derive HW specification for various multi-radio coexistence use-cases. \\nDefine and execute validation and characterization test plans, track results, and communicate data-driven insights to cross-functional partners and leadership.\\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams to bring up devices under test and develop test procedures, mock-ups, and experimental setups for coexistence validation.\\nMonitor HW performance throughout the HW builds and scope software mitigation solutions to remedy multi-radio coexistence issues observed in the HW.\\nCollaborate with cross-functional software partners to determine appropriate software mitigation policies across various Apple platforms based on HW data collected in factory. \\nLead cross-functional efforts to define software mitigation strategies for future technology platforms.
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering with 10+ years relevant work experience.\\nExperience with at least one radio of Cellular, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Thread, NFC, and UWB.\\nKnowledge of RF component characteristics and experience using lab equipment including spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscopes, call box. \\nKnowledge of wireless architectures including front-end, antenna sharing, link budget line-up.
Master’s degree in electrical engineering with 10+ years relevant work experience.\\nExperience debugging and performing RF measurements at the conducted \u0026 radiated level.\\nExperience on co-existence performance benchmark, impact analysis, software mitigation scheme, MAC/PHY and throughput measurement and debug.\\nExperience working with chipset teams to define RF/wireless system-level requirements and influence chipset architecture or design decisions.\\nFamiliarity with wireless protocol stack at the RF, PHY \u0026 MAC layers. \\nExcellent communication written and verbal skills.
