RFIC Design Engineer: Wireless Transceivers & SoC

Apple, Inc.; Sunnyvale (CA); Presencial; USD 150 000 - 278 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Apple, Inc. in Sunnyvale, CA seeks an RFIC Design Engineer to architect, design and validate radio transceivers in wireless SoCs, driving designs to mass production and coordinating with RF Systems and test engineers across productization.

The role demands hands-on circuit design from concept to silicon, expertise with Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, Matlab and EM tools, and a track record in high‑performance wireless circuits. A BS or higher in EE and 3+ years of experience are preferred.

Qualificações

• BS and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Understanding of analog design concepts such as noise analysis, linearity, mismatch, stability, and other analog impairments.
• Experienced in Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre RF, Matlab, EM simulation (EMX, HFSS), and similar tools.
• Expertise in analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design. This includes the design of LNAs, PAs, PLL/VCO/DCO/LOGEN blocks, mixers, baseband filters and amplifiers, data converters, and calibration methods associated with such high‑performance wireless systems.
• Experienced in Silicon characterization and debugging.

Responsabilidades

• Provide RFIC designs for wireless SoC and drive them to mass production for Apple’s Wireless Connectivity products.
• Hands‑on design contributions, from concept to transistor‑level feasibility studies, with power, area and performance trade‑offs.
• Design and deliver radio transceiver building blocks and chains, including TX, RX, and PLL‑LOGen for wireless connectivity products.
• Collaborate with RF Systems on block‑level and high‑level specifications and margins in the chain.
• Work with RFIC test engineers during setup, debugging, and optimization of the wireless connectivity chip throughout productization.
• Provide design versus silicon measurements correlation and compliance with specifications for volume production.
